FAQ
How do I use this Greek and Latin roots worksheet?

Start with the root sort, then let students use the root boxes as a reference on the other sheets. Use the organizer after the practice sheets with words from current reading.
What does this worksheet teach?
⌄
Fill sentences with words from duc, fac, pend and vert, such as aqueduct and pendulum. The directions on the page read: Use the root meanings to help you. Write the word from the word bank that best completes each sentence. Use every word once. An answer key is included.
Can I use this Greek and Latin roots worksheet for homeschool or classroom?
⌄
Yes, both. We made it for 7th grade Greek and Latin roots, and it works the same at home or at school. At home, a student can work through it alone and then go over it with you, which shows quickly what is solid and what needs another look. In class it works as independent practice, homework or a warm-up, and you can print one copy or a full set.
What does the root dict mean?
⌄
Dict means say or speak. Verdict, diction and predict all contain it. Latin Roots Dict, Scrib, Spec and Ject has students sort these words under dict with the other three roots.
How can roots help define a word?
⌄
Students split a word into its parts and use the meaning of the root. Anthropology joins anthrop, meaning human, with log, meaning study, so it is the study of humans. Greek Roots Anthrop, Dem, Log and Morph gives the root meanings in a box on the page.
What is the Word Part Analysis Organizer?
⌄
It is a recording sheet for four words chosen by the student. For each word students write the prefix, root and suffix, the language of origin, the literal meaning of the parts and two relatives in the same family. It has no answer key because the words vary.
