One academic year’s worth of Word Root of the Week slides (36 weeks) for displaying in during assembly and/or form times. These are very effective for normalising the breaking down of words into their component parts and digging deeper into how they affect the word’s meaning.
Each slide displays the definition of the word root followed by three examples of words containing it which are broken down into their component parts.
These words correspond with this free Excel file which provides a yearly plan with 36 word roots and example words.
