Need a Greek and Latin Root Words Anchor Chart?

Whether you have high readers, low readers, or ELL students, vocabulary instruction is a critical component in any balanced literacy program. In higher grades, this transitions into intensive word study and integration of Greek and Latin root words. As students learn vocabulary words and build their vocabularies, they need somewhere to turn for additional practice. Simply use these posters as a reference point during future vocabulary and word study lessons.

This set of 24 posters serves as an excellent display for studying roots. Each poster has the root and origin, its meaning, and nine interesting vocabulary words using that root. These are available in both color and blackline versions.

Greek and Latin Roots List

The following Greek and Latin roots are included in the poster selection:

These anchor charts will prove useful as

• ELA Classroom Displays
• Greek and Latin Roots Homeschool Curriculum
• Interactive Notebook Reference Pages
