Problem solving
I love this resource. I use it in my 4th and 5th grade gifted resource classes.
Fabulously crafted roots units
I scoured for a resource that would organize the roots and include plenty of ways to practice using them in meaningful and memorable ways. I love the way these units are laid out! I appreciate that it uses a small number of roots, but helps students by including multiple words using the roots so that they can truly see how the roots can help them determine the meaning of words.
Helpful tool
This was a helpful tool in filling in gaps in foundational knowledge with my struggling learners
Learning while Being Creative
This is a fun way for students to be able to learn affixes, but to be creative at the same time!!!
