Greek Roots and Latin Stems Posters

Description

Increase your learners’ vocabulary immensely with these Greek Roots and Latin Stems Posters.

As learners move into more reading to learn {after they’ve learned to read}, they begin to face longer words. Their ability to read AND understand these words will impact their comprehension for the good or for the bad.

These longer words may seem intimidating at first, but by teaching learners some Greek Roots and Latin Stems, we can increase their decoding skills, vocabulary, and comprehesion. Score!

Greek Roots and Latin Stems Posters

That’s why I’m excited to share my simple posters with you! {Printable color and blackline are included as well as a link to Google Slides.} These can be displayed on a wall or hole-punched and included in a notebook for learners to refer to.

Each poster contains:

• The root or stem
• The meaning of the morpheme with an image
• Words learners may encounter in their reading to show the root or stem meaning

See the image below for bio.

 

Display these posters to help learners remember the meanings of Greek and Latin morphemes and words that contain them.

Note: A root or stem is often the main meaning part of a word. Greek roots come from the Greek language while Latin stems come from Latin. In general, Greek roots are more flexible than Latin stems, as Greek roots can be used as prefixes, the main part of the word, and as suffixes. Latin stems are generally only used as the anchor or “base” of the word.

 

35 Greek Roots are included: aer, aster/astr, bio, centr, chron, cosm, crat, crit, cycl, dem, derm, geo, gram, graph, homo, hydr, logo, logy, meter/metr, micro, ortho, pan, path, ped, phobia, phon, photo, phys, pol, scope, sphere, tech, tele, therm, and zo

44 Latin Stems are included: aud, bene/bon, cap, cide/cis, cogn, cred, dict, duc/duct, equa/equi, fin, flex/flect, form, grad/gress, ject, jud, junct, langu/lingu, lit, loc/loq, mal, man, min, miss/mit, ped, pend/pens, port, pos/pon, prim/princ, quir/ques, rupt, sci, scrib/script, sec/sequ, sect/seg, spec, tain, terra, tract, vac, ven/vent, vers/vert, vid/vis, voc, and vol/volv
