Vocabulary.com - List of Latin & Greek Roots in all Word Puzzles

Cinny Nym
"Hi, I'm Cinny Nym, Dean of Faculty at Vocabulary University®. We want our teachers, students, parents and life-long learners to access the activities of our grade level puzzles. You can make our content and exercises a permanent part of your English and Language Arts vocabulary program as so many teachers and schools have already done. (See "participating schools" or, to be included, please email us with you school name, city, state/country.)
This list makes it easy to access all of our vocabulary building activities."
See the lesson plan matrix of each session's 8 activities at the bottom of this page.




For each of the 47 Latin & Greek Roots in our vocabulary.com Word Puzzles Lesson Plan sessions (from #127 through #140) there are 12 words for each root and 7 different vocabulary building activities.

To help your navigation we have listed the three roots in each of the 15 sessions (S#127 through S#140) in the table BELOW the alphabetical root list. The 11 additional roots (noted with an asterick *) will appear in the next several sessions.
