Moving right along this morning, here is a worksheet on the Latin word root tri. Do I need to tell you that it means three, and is found (as it is in this document) in such high-frequency words in English as triangle, triathlon, and triad?
I didn’t think so.

Here is a context clues worksheet on the verb disillusion; it’s used only transitively, so don’t forget your direct object: you must disillusion someone. This word means, simply, “to free from illusion” or “to cause to lose naive faith and trust,” which is the meaning the context in the sentences in these worksheets implies–so students should infer that.
Incidentally, I don’t know about you, but I have always been circumspect about disillusioning students. It seems like a big responsibility that should be accepted carefully.

Here is a worksheet on the Greek word root tax/o. It means, simply, arrangement. So of course you’ll find this root at the base of words like taxonomy and syntax–both included on this document. However, you’ll also find on this document some scientific words, e.g. geotaxis, phyllotaxis, and thermotaxis, that are not exactly part of the vernacular.

Do you hear kids bandying about the word “anal” to describe their more fastidious or compulsive classmates? I think I have heard it at least once a year since I became a teacher. It’s mostly used properly, but when it isn’t, this Cultural Literacy worksheet on the anal personality might help to clarify things. This is a half-page worksheet with a reading of two compound sentences and three comprehension questions.
There’s no mention of Sigmund Freud here, which is an interesting omission considering that the anal stage is the second part of his theory of psychosexual development. This worksheet, again, just explains the basics of the anal personality’s characteristics as (from the text) “…excessive orderliness, extreme meticulousness, and often suspicion and reserve.”
