Six pages: write what each word means from its root; circle the meaning; cut and sort words by root; match roots to meanings; circle the root in a word; and write words from a word box.
Write a root on the board, like port (carry), and list words with it. Talk about how each word has something to do with carrying.
Look for roots in words you see, like tele in television, and ask your child what the root means.
Greek and Latin roots like tele, port, tri and dent, and the long words built from them. Students use what a root means to work out words such as telephone, portable and dentist.
