Greek and Latin Roots - Root Words Lists and Quizzes for 4th, 5th, and 6th Grade

Greek and Latin Root Words Weekly Lists, Quizzes, and Tests BUNDLE:

This Latin and Greek roots and stems UNIT ONE AND UNIT TWO BUNDLE is perfect for teachers who want their students to learn common Greek and Latin roots. Each unit includes:

• Weekly lists (10 words on each list for eight weeks)
• A mid-week matching quiz
• An end of week test (which is progressive and includes stems from prior weeks)

These files can be used for ANY grade level, but have mostly been used with 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th grade students.

NOTE: The test at the end of each week includes 20 word parts (except the first week only has 10 because there isn't an established pool to pull additional parts yet). For the ninth week, there is a final test with all 80 word stems/roots.

Since each week builds on the previous week, the retention of information remains high. As an added activity, my own students keep a ring with flashcards on them in their desks/backpacks and will add ten new stems each week, so that they can study ALL the stems each week, not just the new ones for that week.

This file is the FIRST UNIT AND THE SECOND UNIT. Each Unit has 8 weeks of new words with an additional week to review and test.

Please take a look at the individual files here:

• UNIT ONE: LATIN AND GREEK STEMS AND ROOTS
• UNIT TWO: LATIN AND GREEK STEMS AND ROOTS
