Latin and Greek Root Word Activities: Lists, Quizzes, and Tests

Description

Latin and Greek Roots Word Lists, Quizzes, and Tests (PART TWO):

This Greek and Latin roots and stems file includes weekly lists (10 words on each list for eight weeks), mid-week matching quizzes, and end-of-week tests (which are progressive and include stems from prior weeks).

The test at the end of each week has 20 questions (except the first week only has ten because there isn’t an established pool to pull additional parts yet). For the ninth week, there is a final test with all 80 roots.

Since each week builds on the previous week, the retention of information remains high. My students will keep a ring with the stems and roots flashcards in their desks/backpacks and will add ten new stems each week so that they can study ALL the Latin and Greek stems and roots each week, not just the new ones for that week.

This file is the Second UNIT (a total of NINE weeks).

Why should students learn to use Latin and Greek stems and roots?

It is part of the standards (for vocabulary)
Latin makes unknown English words more accessible
Children who have studied Latin score higher on standardized tests, including SAT, ACT, M-CAT
It gives children a set of terms to help them unlock unknown words by using word parts
