Prefixes, Suffixes, Greek & Latin Roots Word Mats

(0)
These simple word mats feature examples of prefixes, suffixes Greek and Latin roots alongside their meanings to help boost pupils’ vocabulary knowledge. A great resource to keep on hand for independent reading so pupils can use them to work out the meaning of any new words. Or for independent writing to help with spelling. You could also use this word mat resource for a range of different activities. You could, for example, challenge learners to see if they can think of any more words that these suffixes and prefixes could be added on to. You could make this an independent challenge, or turn it into a group activity. You could have your learners work against the clock and see which group comes up with the most amount of base words in the time given. This could be a great way to encourage teamwork and communication skills. Both US and UK versions included (to account for different spellings and paper sizes)
