Day 1- Introduce the five root words or affixes using the anchor charts. Add the cards or anchor charts to a word wall or bulletin board. Work on the study guide (matcing up the meanings). Student can use a dictionary. Go over the meanings together to make sure they have the correct answers for the rest of the activities. For homework OR centers: Choose one of the the boxes or strips version of practice. For each one, students need to draw a picture of the root word or affix, then write the meaning and create a sentence for each of the words. The printable version can be placed in a folder or cut out and stapled into a booklet.
Day 2- Look up other words with the same root or affix. Create a nonsense word.
Day 3- Fill in the blank to the story. It really gets your students thinking outside the box!

Why introduce Greek and Latin roots and affixes to your students?
They are the “building blocks” of the English language! It helps your students with word means and spelling conventions. They will learn how to break down larger words in their reading. This study has proven to be effective on the end of year state and national tests!
Are there more units?
There are 20 units. They are split up into Units 1-10 and 11-20 incase you just needed 10 units or you wanted them split up between two grade levels. In each unit, there are 5 roots or affixes with 2 words to learn and study. Students learn a total of 15 definitions per week (5 roots or affixes and 10 words). If you teach all 20 units, they will learn a total of 300 words (100 roots or affixes and 200 words).
Why have 5 roots or affixes all in one study?
Students will learn more tools to break down words. The roots and affixes are categorized so students can learn them within a week. STUDENTS LEARN MORE IN A SHORTER TIME.
Why is there so much practice?
Did you know that students should encounter a word up to 70 times before it is mastered? Practice, practice, practice! In addition to the weekly practice, student need to remember the past roots and affixes introduced. That is why there is a spiraling section of 5 questions included in the quizzes for Units 2-20.
