Use Roots to Determine the Meaning of Words

CCSS ELA: L.4.4.B

L.4.4.B Use common, grade-appropriate Greek and Latin affixes and roots as clues to the meaning of a word (e.g., telegraph, photograph, autograph).

TEKS ELA: 4(3)(C)

4(3)(C) Determine the meaning of and use words with affixes such as mis-, sub-, -ment, and -ity/ty and roots such as auto, graph, and meter.

This reading vocabulary lesson focuses on using roots to analyze the meaning of words. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students identify the root in a word and determine the root meaning from a table. Then, they use the meaning of the root to select the best meaning of the original word. In addition to the lesson, there are four pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.
