I am looking for curriculum materials to make it less time consuming for me to teach Latin and Greek roots and affixes in 7th and 8th grade. I work in an underfunded K-8 Catholic school and we have decided use roots and affixes as the basis for our vocab. curriculum, so I am looking for a set of blackline masters, such as those from a "teacher store" or a reasonably priced curriculum from an educational publisher ($250 per grade level or less). It needs to start at no later than 4th grade, preferably lower and go to 8th grade. Have you found anything worth buying? I have a gazillion lists of roots and affixes and their meanings, but these lists offer few words derived from each root and these few examples are not necessarily at the appropriate grade level. I am looking for something that has roots correlated to affixes correlated to a list of grade-level appropriate words made from combing a given root with various affixes. Just the time of creating such a cross-referenced list is prohibitive for me, unless you have found an internet source I have not stumbled on. I like the approach of Dynamic Literacy, but it is pricey. Any ideas? Jan _______________________________________________ The Literacy Workshop ListServ http://www.literacyworkshop.org
