Greek and Latin Roots Vocabulary Lists for Grade 7
A set of weekly vocabulary lists, each containing ten multisyllabic words built from Greek and Latin roots, designed for 7th graders preparing for regular vocabulary assessments. Students build word-decoding and morphology skills by recognizing shared roots across science, history, and literature terms.
“I need 20 different lists that contain 10 multi-sylliabic words on a 7th grade level. Words cannot repeat.”
Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use the lists as a weekly warm-up or homework set, introducing one list at a time and pairing it with a short root-focused mini-lesson of about 10 minutes.
- Discussion question: Which words in this list share a root, and how does knowing that root help you guess the meaning of an unfamiliar word?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: Provide a root chart with the meaning of each Greek or Latin element (for example, auto, bene, chrono) and have students circle the root before defining each word.
- Extension for advanced students: Ask them to create a sentence for each word that uses a second word from the same list, or to identify words from different lists that share a root.
- Estimated time: Roughly 15 to 20 minutes per list for introduction and practice, plus a short quiz at the end of the week.
