This is a Free Samples of my Greek and Latin Roots Word Study with Reading Comprehension Passages. It contains 2 weeks of Activities, Anchor Charts, and Assessments. It includes all of the resources in my Word Study line for 4th Grade.
**Activities Packet**
Each week in the Activities Packet, two roots are introduced with definitions and examples, word lists, weekly practice activities, and used strategically in short stories. With this resource, you’ll know which roots to teach each week, and you’ll have a variety of activities to help you do so. This Word Study packet makes it quick to plan your lessons, and helps you teach Greek and Latin roots effectively and consistently.
Weekly Activities:
· Roots Chart
· Fill in the Blanks
· Short Stories
· Reading Comprehension Questions
· Thumbs Up, Thumbs Down
· Counting Syllables
· Match Words to Meanings
· Sentence Writing
· Spelling
Please note that this resource includes PDFs that can be printed for in person learning and an EASEL by TpT digital option that can be assigned remotely for distance learning. I recommend familiarizing yourself with EASEL before using this resource for Distance Learning and making sure that your school district works with this type of resource.
Resource Highlights:
- Roots – Two Roots are introduced every week. The whole year is planned for you.
- Short Stories – Weekly Short Stories that focus heavily on words containing the roots of the week. Students see new vocabulary in context.
- Activities – Rigorous and purposeful activities designed to increase vocabulary learning.
- Integration – Reading and Writing activities are integrated throughout the week.
- Consistency – Consistent weekly format that allows students to become familiar with the activities and promotes independent work.
- Teacher Tips – All activities are explained and include a suggested teacher script.
How it Works:
- Mondays – Two Roots are introduced in a chart with definitions examples, and word lists. Then, students complete a Fill in the Blanks activity.
- Tuesdays – Students practice the Roots they are learning in a variety of activities.
- Wednesdays – Students read a Short Story with root-focused vocabulary and answer Comprehension Questions.
- Thursdays – Students continue practicing and writing sentences.
