Root Family Builder

In this worksheet, students expand vocabulary by listing words that belong to families of given Latin roots such as nov (new), mis (hate), and salv (save). They review each root’s meaning and brainstorm as many related words as possible. This activity deepens understanding of word origins and builds morphological awareness, helping learners decode unfamiliar vocabulary through root analysis.
