Quick Notes: Before You Begin…
1. There are two template options for
each root word. You can choose to
use the plain tab version that consists
of gluing the top of the template to
the notebook page and lifting up the
template to write underneath it,
presumably sample words and possibly
definitions. The other version includes
five vocabulary words as either tabs
or pocket foldables so that students
can write the definition for each word
under the tab or on the back of the
piece that goes into the pocket. (above) Option 1: Simple, quick, easy
2. Each template includes a photo (left) Option 2:
tutorial for Option 2 since Option 1 will Includes words,
work the same for all templates. ready to go,
my preference
3. For each root word, I have
included five vocabulary words that
use the root. I chose from an array
of words that should be familiar (to
help students make connections with
the root and its meaning) to new
words (to challenge students).
4. Each root activity also includes a
vocabulary card with the words,
definitions, parts of speech, and
sample sentences. You might choose
to have students glue this on the left
side page opposite its foldable. Or, you
can have students keep these in the
pocket they created in the back of
the notebook.

Quick Notes: Before You Begin…
5. The Prefixes section is organized
into several categories followed by
four miscellaneous groupings of
prefixes. Complete vocabulary cards
are not included; instead, word lists
including five or ten words per prefix
(whichever is more appropriate) is
included. See table of contents for
more organizational information.
6. The Suffixes section is organized
into three categories: suffixes that
form nouns, suffixes that form
adjectives, and suffixes that form
verbs and adverbs. Again, word lists
are included just as in the Prefix
section.
7. This notebook can be used along
with ANY Greek & Latin Roots,
Suffixes, & Prefixes program. You do
not have to complete all of the
templates in the book – you might pick (above) Word lists for prefixes
and choose the ones that you plan to and photo instructions for
cover. foldable templates
8. On the other hand, this notebook can also be used as the basis for and
organization of teaching roots, suffixes, and prefixes. I have included a
suggested Pacing Chart for 36 weeks of the school year. Every 6th week is a
review week, so you could choose to skip those and complete the program in
30 weeks.
9. To make this a more complete program, I will be releasing many additional
resources to complement this notebook including weekly activities, homework,
and quizzes, as well as unit reviews, tests, posters, and flash cards. I’ll release a
growing bundle later in September starting with the first six weeks of the
program, so keep an eye open for that.
10. As always, an editable version is included in PPT format so that you can
customize to your heart’s content.

INTERACTIVE VOCABULARY NOTEBOOKS
Setting Up the Notebook
Wait! Don’t skip! This interactive notebook is not plug-and-play (virtually set-up-
free) like my others! The difference is that as we assemble this notebook, I
know exactly what is going to go on each and every page. So, if you notice that
the steps here are opposite of what I recommend with my other notebooks,
just keep calm and notebook on! You’re going to need a good hour or so to get
this all set up, and remember to be patient if you’re just starting interactive
notebooks. I’m going to talk to you as if you’re the student setting up the
notebook. Explicit instructions are on the page that follows.
1. Number the pages.
2. Glue in the Master Lists.
3. Create the notebook pocket.
4. Create/glue in the tabs.

INTERACTIVE VOCABULARY NOTEBOOKS
Setting Up the Notebook
1. Number the pages.
Take your brand new notebook and count off three sheets of paper starting
with the first sheet in the front of the notebook. On the fourth sheet, write
a number 1 in the top right corner. You’ll ONLY write numbers on the right side
of the notebook (never the left side) and don’t skip any pages. Number all
the way from 1-65.
2. Glue in the Master Lists.
Choose which version of the Master List you’ll be gluing into the front of
your notebook. You can choose completely filled out (minus page numbers),
partially filled out, or totally blank. I prefer the partially filled out because it
keeps us organized and still shows obvious progress as to how much we’ve
finished. I prefer to glue the Prefixes/Suffixes table onto the back of the
front cover and the Roots table on the front of the first page in the
notebook. You could also choose to put one on the front of the first page
and one on the back of the first page. See photo on the previous page.
3. Create the notebook pocket.
Create a notebook pocket with the last four pages at the end of the
notebook. Glue two pages together to make it sturdier. Follow the
instructions in the Youtube tutorial if you don’t know how to make a
notebook folder. [Link]
(if clicking the link doesn’t work, try copying and pasting)
4. Create/glue in the tabs.
The next two pages explicitly show how to create and glue in the tabs, but
you’ll need to know where they go!
Tab 1: Roots – the page right BEFORE page 1 (the third page in the notebook)
Tab 2: Prefixes – Page 40
Tab 3: Suffixes – Page 60
