This worksheet on the Latin word root cent will help students learn and apply some key words in English, I think. It means, your students will quickly infer (I hope) hundred. This is a very productive root that students really must know.

This week’s Text is a worksheet on the Greek root hyper and another on the Greek roots hyp and hypo. You will perceive phonetically that these roots are two sides of a coin, and indeed they are: hyper means above, excessive, beyond, and over; conversely, hypo means under, below, and less. If you’ve dealt with thyroid issues in your life, you surely know what these roots mean. So aspiring health care professionals, nota bene!

If you have students looking at careers in health care, than this worksheet on the Greek root itis is de rigueur. As you have probably gathered–especially if you suffer from arthritis—itis means inflammation. This is a very productive root in English, needless to say.

If you can use it, here is a worksheet on the Greek roots ep- and epi-. This one is complicated and requires a bit of interpretation, but the basic meanings of these two roots is on, upon, outside, over, among, at, after, and to. As you’ll see from the worksheet itself, this root forms the basis of many commonly used English words like epicenter, epilogue and epidemic; you’ll also find it in epilepsy and episode. This is one of the most difficult roots to connect to students’ own experience and to find the connecting tissue between these words. I don’t use this much, particularly not with struggling and emergent readers.

Here’s a worksheet on the Greek word root hetero. It means, of course, different and other. The adjective heterogenous, used fairly regularly in certain domains of educated discourse, springs from this root, as to a number of English words, as the document will show you and your students.
