This resource is inspired from activities I used as a Reading Intervention teacher. I love how Greek and Latin roots can help to unlock new levels of comprehension for students. I believe your students will find it useful, too!
Suggested uses: When giving students this kind of assignment, I would provide them with the meaning of the root and have them use the story’s context to work together to match the various words using that root to their meanings. Then, they would record these definitions on the Root Word Tree page. Other times, I would have them look up the definitions of the words in order to determine the meaning of the root.
