Knowledge of the meaning of words is essential to reading comprehension! The majority of English words come from Greek and Latin roots, so teaching Greek and Latin Roots will help your students develop their vocabularies. This product, a word root, prefix and suffix study, is aligned to the Common Core State Standards. When students learn a root word and its meaning, they can learn the meaning of many English words they may encounter in their reading. For example, when students learn that “aud” means “to hear,” that knowledge can help them figure out the meaning of the words audio, auditorium, audition and audiology. Greek and Latin Roots, Prefixes and Suffixes Study This product is a 20 week Greek/Latin root study program. Each week, students will learn 6 word roots. These include prefixes and suffixes. Each week contains: 1. An introductory page that lists the root and its meaning. Please see pictures for ways you might use this. 2. Word ideas for each of the roots. There are 2 variations of this: WITH or WITHOUT definitions. 3. Word Wall Cards – 2 variations: One set of cards is illustrated. The other set lists the root and its meaning and can be illustrated by your students. 4. The next section is differentiated: a graphic organizer on which the students will write words that contain the root, a sentence containing one of the word roots and a picture to go along with the sentence. or a graphic organizer that is almost the same as the one above. This can be used for your lower level students. The difference is this one has the list of words already on it. It also has a sentence frame with a missing word. The students choose the correct word from the list. They draw a picture to go with the sentence. 5. Matching cards – the students can play a matching game with a partner. They will match the root to its meaning. You can even add the cards from previous weeks for review. 6. A root word search – students are given the roots for that unit and asked to find them a certain number of times. They are given a statement such as, “Find the root that means again 3 times.” For several of the units, I have included roots from past weeks for review. *Answer sheet included* 7. Fill in the blank sheet. Students will fill in the blank with the appropriate word listed on the top of the paper. Each root for that unit is used twice. Answer sheet included. 8. Now includes 6 assessments! What teachers have said about this product: "Love, love, love this resource! It is a simple but effective start with G/L word parts. I've used it for two years (sorry so long with feedback :/) It has sparked a lot of involvement in vocabulary building!" "This is fabulous! Thank you so much! We are using this now in class every week during whole group and small group! My kids are loving it!" "A great resource! Students enjoy doing the different activities and the differentiation is very helpful."
Nicknames can end up being either one of the coolest things about you (imagine someone calling you ‘Wolf’ or ‘Ace’) or so embarrassing that you wish nobody ever ends up hearing them again. There’s a small problem, though: you can’t give yourself a nickname; others do it for you. And you can earn your nickname—whatever it might be—completely by accident, without even knowing that some random action will end up defining you for years, and sometimes even decades, to come.
