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.

Great product, but I would've liked more directions. Also, the second page doesn't print upside down. It took a little while to figure out how to put it together. Once figured out, it was a great foldable and the kids had fun with it!
I love this format, but this is more of a preview with instructions needed than a review. I started this day one of 6th grade and realized much of this had not been taught yet. It is a great review, but my goal for this was an independent transition. I will reserve judgement until further down the road. If you are teaching 6th grade at the beginning of the year, you will need to do some direct instruction with this.
Hi Debi! I use this a preview and a review. The first two weeks are completed whole group, with me modeling each item. After a few weeks the students can complete alone; I definitely don't expect them to know all the concepts at first and they know that some of it will be new information. The most important component is correcting and discussing the work whole group; that's where so much learning takes place. After 4-5 weeks your students will take off, I promise! They not only understand all of the concepts but they are familiar with the format as well.
I think these are so great looking and I have shared your link with a few people who saw them in my room. I've gotten a few comments, and agree, that mp6 should be more focused on precision of language as opposed to getting a correct answer.
This is SO helpful for all of my social studies classes. Whether I use them for an article on Indian Schools or to evaluate a film, students appreciate the ability to choose a task or work together on a whole topic. These are flexible cards - just swap a few words and you have a specific question for whatever you are doing in class.
The format encourages kids to write more in a bulleted type answer rather in the complete sentences that I require. But overall it was a good product.

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.
