Roots2Words Week Packs
Roots2Words Week Packs provide resources to deliver rich instruction in word and root mastery around a certain theme. The themes themselves facilitate learning and typically tie into other instructional content related to writing, social science, or natural science. While not every teacher focuses on standardized test prep, we still make sure that Roots2Words resources highlight the kinds of words that appear frequently on high stakes tests like the SAT & ACT. Each Week Pack consists of five root worksheets and a series of quizzes.
Our GOVERNMENT WEEK PACK focuses on vocabulary relating to types of governments and includes 5 roots encompassing over 125 relevant words. This series of lessons would be ideal in any social studies classroom.
Our SPEECH WEEK PACK focuses on vocabulary relating to speech and language and includes 5 roots encompassing over 125 relevant words. This series of lessons would be ideal in any ELA classroom.
