KS2 English - Root Words

This KS2 resource is made up of an editable PowerPoint-based lesson and three differentiated worksheets all with answers included.

The lesson introduces the concept of root words and can be used with Year 3 children when beginning this topic. It can also be used in Years 4 to 6 to consolidate existing understanding.

Teachers and students explore a number of examples of root words to consolidate understanding before moving on to the differentiated activities (Gold, Silver and Bronze). The tasks require children to create their own group of words from a given root, define them and use them in sentences.
