3rd Grade Vocabulary Activities Morphology Greek & Latin Roots Morphemes SOR

Improve student vocabulary & reading comprehension with morphology! Add meaningful Science of Reading-aligned vocabulary practice to your literacy centers! Cover 36 morphemes (prefixes, suffixes, bases, and Greek & Latin roots!)

This Greek and Latin Vocabulary entire year unit will help your 3rd-grade students master unfamiliar words using a systematic, easy-to-use format. Each week you'll introduce a new Greek or Latin morpheme (36 in all) with five focus words and 10 optional, enrichment words each week to provide short but consistent root and affix practice.

Here's my suggested schedule:

Monday - Introduce the Greek and Latin Root or affix using an anchor chart, Students complete a practice page (print or digital)

Tuesday - Review the root or affix using vocabulary matching cards/word wall, and students complete a simple review (print or digital)

Wednesday - Students read a passage or poem with vocabulary words in context and answer questions or color-code

Thursday - This is a fun review day with a variety of easy-to-play games or activities (print for hands-on or digital for self-correcting)

Friday - A simple ten-point quiz (similar to Monday's practice page) can be given to assess student learning (print or digital)

Extra Activities - Want to switch something out? Several editable templates with pennants, vocabulary wheels, a circle word wheel, and puzzles can be used as desired. An end-of-the-unit "Shakespeare Words" enrichment activity is also included.
