Greek & Latin Roots

Help students improve their vocabulary recognition by introducing Greek & Latin Roots.  

This interactive notebook & poster set Includes:

-suggested use/ directions

-30 different Greek/Latin root cards

-Greek/ Latin Root of the Week Poster

-Card pocket for Interactive Notebooks

-word cards

This set was designed to be used using Greek & Latin root word sets that are found in the book: Greek & Latin Roots-Teaching Vocabulary to Improve Reading Comprehension by Trisha Callella . Since the vocabulary words in this book are copyrighted, they could not be included in this product. However, 30 Greek/ Latin roots are included. It is very easy to do an internet search to come up with vocabulary words that go with the given root words. My suggestion is to pull 8-10 words from each root to create your own lists. Another option is to have students work in groups to research their own words and meaning to write on the provided vocabulary cards.

Setting up an Elementary Classroom Book Club

Book Club is an ELA activity that combines reading and discussion of "at level" books in an organized manner. Reading groups are determined by the student’s current reading levels and no more than six students are placed in each reading group to allow full participation by each member of the group. Modifications and adaptations can be made to make Book Club work in any classroom setting. Book Club was created to be used in grades 3rd-5th classrooms and was developed

with the help of a Reading Specialist.

This 23 slide set includes all you need to set up a Book Club in your Elementary classroom. The set includes:

-An explanation of what Book Club is

-Job Assignment explanations

-Worksheets for each Job Assignment

-Job Assignment Labels

-All documents in both an orange pattern print and in black/ white easy to print versions
