This fun Latin roots game activity helps kids practice word attack skills, vocabulary, and quickly recognize six frequently occurring Latin roots. Players must be able to use word and syllable decoding skills to correctly read words and get rid of their cards.
Through repetitive play, students practice longer unfamiliar words to expand their vocabulary, sight word, and spelling skills. The roots used in this game are: tract, spect, port, dict, scrib, and rupt. A list of words used is on page 21.
Editable cards are included so you can customize the game to your needs.
This game can be used as extra practice for students using any Orton Gillingham-based reading program. Cards may also be used as flash cards or as a matching game activity. This game provides differentiated instruction for tutoring sessions, general classroom use, homeschool, and special education.

My students absolutely love playing this game! They nitpick each other correctly pronouncing the words in hopes that they can catch someone not saying it correctly, so the other student loses a turn.
