• Anchor Charts: Each lesson includes a colorful anchor chart. If you don’t want to use the teaching slides, you could display the anchor chart under a document camera to help guide your lesson. You could also post this in your classroom after the lesson or give students a copy to place in their folders.
• Google Slide Set For Each Lesson: Each lesson includes 6 slides you can use to introduce, model, and practice reading sentences with each focus root. These slides make it really easy to keep kids engaged in the lesson and make planning the teaching portion of your word study lessons super quick and easy. (There are over 100+ slides included in this bundle.)
• Student Practice Pages: Each of the Greek and Latin root lessons includes two student practice pages. On these pages, students will be given the opportunity to create a semantics map for each root and use root words in a sentence. They also get a chance to read sentences and a short decodable paragraph that includes words with the focus root. You can assign the entire practice set at one time or have students complete one section per day throughout the week.
• Answer Key: An answer key is included.

Prep is quick and easy… Just print the lesson you want to teach, and you’re all set to teach your word study lesson.
