Greek and Latin Roots Posters and Anchor Charts - SOR

Greek and Latin Root words are so important to teach in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade. With this set of 40 Root Word Anchor Charts, you’ll quickly and easily be able to introduce root words to your students.  When students are familiar with common root words they quickly grow and improve their vocabulary. This will have a positive impact on reading and writing. 

Each anchor chart includes a simple definition of a root word, a picture clue to help students remember the root word, and examples of words that contain that root. Students can see how root words fit together with other word parts to create new words. These anchor charts are a great tool to help students internalize Greek and Latin Roots.

EACH ANCHOR CHART INCLUDES:

• A student-friendly definition of the root word
• An image or visual cue to help students remember the root word
• A list of words that include that root that are broken down by word part and meaning

All the information included on the anchor charts will help your students to identify, use, study, and understand text root words when they are reading.

HERE’S WHAT YOU GET:

In this resource, you’ll get 40 anchor charts to help you teach your students all about Greek and Latin roots. The posters are formatted in the following ways: 

• Half-page anchor charts - perfect for students journals
• Full page anchor charts - works great for whole group lessons
• Digital version - created using Google Slides
• FIll-in version - available for both the half-page and full-page versions and are great if you want your students to take notes during the lesson 

LOVED BY BOTH TEACHERS AND STUDENTS: 

Your students will love having access to these anchor charts during the year. They won’t feel the pressure to remember the meaning of all the different root words because they know they can look back in their journals anytime they need a reminder. 

You’ll love these anchor charts because they have easy-to-read font and are written with clear and concise language. Your students will understand how to identify root words with these anchor charts. 

So many upper elementary teachers love these anchor charts because they aren’t cluttered with excess clipart or fonts that are too “cutesy”.

And, you have options. You can choose to print them in half pages for students to glue in their journals… or you can share them with your students in Google Classroom… or you can give students the fill-in version so they can take notes during your lessons. You can pick the version that will work for you and your students. 

Prep is quick and easy... Just print the anchor chart option you want to use before your lesson on root words and you’re ready to go.
