Description
Greek and Latin Roots! Almost 70% of the English language is derived from Latin and Greek languages. When students learn these “building blocks” it becomes easy for them to recognize and decode unfamiliar words that are related to a known root. It is also increasingly important to explicitly teach students the meanings of Greek and Latin roots as they encounter the very technical vocabulary found in science and other content areas.
This HUGE 282-page resource covers over 60 Greek and Latin roots and 200 different words. Created for grades 4-8.
This listing is for the PRINTABLE version only. CLICK HERE for the DIGITAL version.
There are 20 units in this file.
Each unit contains:
*A 4-page student packet, which includes 6 different vocabulary activities
*An individual “Word & Definition Sort”
*A set of 20 “Concentration” game cards
*A complete word wall with “headers” for each root
*A unit assessment
*Also included are unit word lists and answer keys for the student packets.

Error! I can't open this document anymore.
I purchased this vocabulary last year, and now I am unable to open it. It says that it has special permissions. Please fix it.
I loved having this for STAAR review. They were able to it by themselves
My daughter did not enjoy this at all. We normally always start out in the morning with some worksheets. In this case there were many things that were thrown at her that had little to no explanation and some were completely new to her. I ended up deleting the file since we never use it now. I really thought this would be a good course for us.
<p>Hello, Abigail. Did you see the detailed teaching notes and grammar student handbook included in the resource? Hopefully those tools help explain the concepts.</p>
My students liked this resource as a reinforcement of skills.
I was excited about this resource. But NOTHING about it has been easy. I don't believe the positive reviews, unless they are not using them daily, or they did not mind adjusting the settings on 144 forms because the settings are ridiculous.
1) "We don't use any student identifiers..." That is the DUMBEST thing I have heard of. Did I miss something and teachers have stopped asking their students to write their names on their papers because we don't need to identify whose work is whose anymore?? As of now, when 20 kids finish a form, you have NO idea who's response is whose. No joke. What the actual heck? So plan on opening 144 forms and setting EVERY ONE to collect email addresses (or whatever you prefer, but that's the easiest for my students).
2) To create the forms, you have to click on an individual link, click make a copy, and then you have the word "copy of" in front of every form. There are lots of better ways the seller could have gone about this with a little research.
3) When I make a form, I try to get the total to be out of 100 points, so that every score is consistent and means something to my students (<70, needs to ask for help from me, 100=all correct, etc.). Every purchased form I've bought has been out of 100 points. These forms are all out of different numbers-8, 16, 22, etc. There is no consistency throughout the week, no way for students to compare scores, and their scores don't means ANYTHING to them or me if I don't have a calculator handy. Just DO BETTER.
4) The other settings are GARBAGE too. Students cannot see the questions that they missed. What kind of teacher doesn't want students to see what they got wrong? I normally DON'T want my students to see correct answers, because I want them to be able to go back and try to find their errors and correct them themselves, BUT on a DAILY SPIRAL, when time is short and they may/may not have been introduced to the topic, I find that student learn a LOT form seeing the correct answer. This setting was also unchecked.
5) There is no logical order to the review questions. There are not models to help compare fractions mid year, just 2 fractions and students are asked to compare. Maybe some schools in Texas teach things in different orders, but we don't teach fractions that early, but they sure as heck could be reviewing place value or multi-step addition/subtraction problems.
If I were selling a product and knew there were 144 individual forms, I would have done the work myself, and given options: This link will give you forms with these settings; This link= these settings...etc. To say that teachers can "easily" change the settings is ridiculous. It is TEDIOUS, easy to miss an important setting like collect EMAILS, and THAT'S WHY I PAID YOU. I should have realized there were teachers out there that don't think about the "little things" and read the fine print or comments before buying.
I WOULD NOT BUY AGAIN for the hassle of making these work.

Hi,
Any chance you have a version with UK spelling?
Hello! Thanks for asking. Unfortunately, I only have these in US English spelling.
Hi: My school is using HMH Into Reading, 5th grade. Our first lessons in prefixes and suffixes is im, in, and dis, along with ty, and ity. I love your program but wondered how your units might align with HMH, if at all. Thank you!
Hello, Nancy! I have a separate resource that focuses on affixes you might want to check out. The preview file contains a list of all affixes covered in the resource. https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Prefixes-and-Suffixes-Practice-Printables-Morphology-2271465
I am new to teaching middle school ELA and my students need morphology as part of their vocabulary instruction. I really like your resources! It is A LOT of information. Do you have an advice on how to break it up across 6th, 7th, and 8th grades. Also advice for incorporating prefixes and suffixes with the Greek and Latin roots. I'm going to have to incorporate this into the ELA curriculum I'm expected to teach (I have students an hour a day and teach literature, vocabulary, grammar, & writing).
Hello, Denys! Many teachers will use the Affixes Book for 6th grade, Book 1 for 7th grade, and Book 2 for 8th grade. I can also email you a sample one-week and two-week schedule that might be helpful. Please email me at info@teacherthrive.com.
Do you have an editable version of these? I purchased this set, but am wanting to mix and match a bit and would love to not have to literally cut and paste.
Unfortunately, I am unable to provide an editable version of this resource because I created it using Adobe Illustrator and InDesign. While the PDFs are password-protected, permissions are set to allow for deleting, adding, or moving pages.
I bought this way back in 2018. What is this created on? Is there anyway you could send me an editable file?

I'm not sure how to use Easel...
I am working with the students to break apart the weekly words. For example, What resource would you use? I have been using etymology com, but I would feel better knowing that I had a reliable resource.
Hello, Alicia! Based on my experience, etymology has been pretty reliable. https://www.etymonline.com also looks like a good resource.
