Description
You know that your striving readers need morphology instruction to build their decoding, vocabulary, and comprehension skills, but where should you begin?
These Greek and Latin Roots resources are designed specifically for reading teachers and interventionists!
Every activity is rooted in literacy research and gives students multiple ways to practice, apply, and remember these powerful word parts!
What’s Inside:
- Root practice with meaning + vocabulary words (five words per root)
- Illustration page so students can visualize and connect with each root
- Marked word analysis (by syllable and/or morphological part) with answer key
- Cut-and-match activities for repeated practice with words and definitions
- Root cards (can be added to HuddleTeach syllable sets), underlined for differentiation from syllables
- Sentence writing pages for applied practice
- Two levels of fiction passages (810–1000L and 1010–1200L) for built-in differentiation
- Fluency phrases that prepare students for reading longer text
- Reading response stems inspired by The Writing Revolution
- Mini-posters + bulletin board header for word sorts and classroom display
Why Teachers Love It:
- Flexible: Pick and choose only the pages your students need
- Comprehensive: Covers vocabulary, decoding, fluency, writing, and comprehension
