Description
Looking for a way to help your students increase their vocabulary and improve their reading comprehension? Want to add meaningful upper elementary Science of Reading aligned vocabulary practice to your schedule but not sure where to start?
This Greek and Latin Vocabulary nine-week 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 with five focus words (and 10 optional enrichment words) to provide short but consistent root and affix practice.
Here’s my suggested schedule:
Mondayย – Introduce the Greek and Latin Root or affix using anย anchor chart, Students complete aย practice page (print or digital)
Tuesdayย – Review the root or affix usingย vocabulary matching cards/word wall,ย and students complete aย simple review (print or digital)
Wednesdayย – Students read aย passage or poemย with vocabulary words in context and answer questions or color-code
Thursdayย – This is a funย review dayย with a variety of easy-to-playย games or activities (print for hands-on or digital for self-correcting)
Fridayย – A simpleย ten-point quizย (similar to Monday’s practice page) can be given to assess student learningย (print or digital)
Extra Activitiesย – Want to switch something out? Several editable templates withย pennants, vocabulary wheels, a circle word wheel, and puzzlesย can be used as desired. Anย end-of-the-unit “Shakespeare Words” enrichment activityย is also included.
