Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use this as a 45-minute independent or small-group block, starting with the reference table so students understand each root before attempting the combining exercises.
- Discussion question: how does knowing that "spect" means to look help you predict the meaning of "retrospective" or "inspection"?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: provide a bank of root meanings on a sticky note and let students check it while completing the word-construction items.
- Extension for advanced students: have them invent two new words from the given roots and write a sentence using each one in context.
- Estimated time: about 45 minutes for the full set, with an additional 10 minutes for review if students are working through it for the first time.
