Building Vocabulary with Affixes + Greek and Latin Roots: A Science of Reading Vocabulary Workbook (Level Two)

For Teachers Who Know There's a Better Way to Teach VocabularyIf you're teaching 4th, 5th, or 6th grade, you've seen it: students struggle with grade-level texts because the vocabulary is out of reach. Memorizing word lists isn't working, and comprehension is limited.You need something systematic that actually transfers to reading and writing across all subjects.This is it.Why Morphology Changes EverythingResearch shows that 60-80% of academic vocabulary is morphologically complex—meaning students can unlock unfamiliar words by recognizing affixes (prefixes and suffixes) and Greek and Latin roots. When students understand that submit, dismiss, and admit all share the root mit/miss (send), they stop guessing and start reasoning.Building Vocabulary with Affixes + Greek and Latin Roots: Level Two is a science of reading vocabulary workbook designed to give students this superpower—one morpheme at a time.What Makes This DifferentThis workbook picks up where Level One leaves off. It is a complete morphology curriculum with everything you need for a full year of structured word study:33 High-Frequency Morphemes carefully sequenced based on frequency, utility, and developmental appropriateness. Students learn high-utility prefixes (in-, de-, ex-, anti-, multi-, super-, semi-, mid-), common suffixes (-ly, -ion, -able/-ible, -ous, -ment, -en, -ty, -ant/-ent), and Greek and Latin roots (mit/miss, ject, duct, struct, tract, ten/tain, fer, pos/pon, sphere, meter).These are the word parts students will encounter everywhere—in science, social studies, math, and literature.Predictable 4-Page Routine (Print and Go)Introduce the morpheme (hear it, say it, define it, illustrate it)Break down 5 keywords and apply them in contextApplication activities (morpheme matrices, word building, context analysis)Weekly quizWorks in Any SettingWhole class (5-7 minutes/day), small group instruction, literacy stations, tutoring, homeschool, early finishers, or sub plans. Flexible and teacher-friendly.What Students Will LearnBy the end of Level Two, students will be able to:Identify and define 33 high-utility morphemesBreak unfamiliar words into meaningful partsUse morpheme knowledge to decode words independentlyApply morphological reasoning across content areasBuild confidence with academic vocabularyThis Greek and Latin roots workbook teaches students how to think about words.
