Here’s a Cultural Literacy worksheet on the idiom “white elephant” if you think you’re students need to know the concept. With Tag Sale Season fast approaching in Vermont, this might be a useful piece of vocabulary for kids in this part of the world.

Here are five worksheets on the homophones soar and sore.
Soar is an intransitive verb, though it also has use as a noun, meaning “the range, distance, or height attained in soaring” and “the act of soaring: upward flight.” The noun isn’t tagged as archaic in Merriam-Webster’s; I don’t know about you, but I’ve never used soar as a noun.
Sore, of course, is an adjective, and it’s how you feel after an injury or other trauma, or after intense exercise.

If you can use it, here is a worksheet on the Latin roots radic and radix. They mean root. I imagine teachers in both mathematics and the hard sciences recognize these roots. They are at the base of terms of art in your domains such as radical as well as some big words related to neuropathic disease.

Before I walk out the door on this gray Monday afternoon, here is a reading on Mark Spitz and its accompanying vocabulary-building and comprehension worksheet. Only one student–for whom I produced it–asked for it in 18 years of teaching. Still, Mr. Spitz remains a swimming and Olympic legend, and I suspect somewhere there is still demand for these materials. For my needs, at the moment, supply exceeds demand.

Even though I’ve posted it elsewhere on this website, I’ve not put it up as a standalone document, so here is a worksheet on the Greek root phobia. It means, of course, fear. This root is amazingly productive in the English language, which suggests that there is a very well-endowed fund of anxiety in the Western world.
As I probably say too often, this is another of those Greek roots students interested in working in healthcare–especially the professions related to mental health care–will need to know this root.
