What does this worksheet teach?
⌄
Join word parts built on sign, form and press, then tag each part of speech and write its meaning. The directions on the page read: Join the word parts and write the whole word. Write its part of speech as noun, verb or adjective. Then write a meaning that uses the meaning of the root. 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.
