This reading vocabulary lesson focuses on using roots to determine the meaning of unknown words. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students identify the root in a bold word in a sentence. They note the origin and meaning from a given table and then determine the best meaning of the word based on context clues. In addition to the lesson, there are 11 pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.
