Subject: [LIT] Classical roots curriculum materials










I am looking for curriculum materials to make it less time consuming for me to 
teach Latin and Greek roots and affixes in 7th and 8th grade.  I work in an 
underfunded K-8 Catholic school and we have decided use roots and affixes as the 
basis for our vocab. curriculum, so I am looking for a set of blackline masters, 
such as those from a "teacher store" or a reasonably priced curriculum from an 
educational publisher ($250 per grade level or less).  It needs to start at no 
later than 4th grade, preferably lower and go to 8th grade.  Have you found 
anything worth buying?  I have a gazillion lists of roots and affixes and their 
meanings, but these lists offer few words derived from each root and these few 
examples are not necessarily at the appropriate grade level.  I am looking for 
something that has roots correlated to affixes correlated to a list of 
grade-level appropriate words made from combing a given root with various 
affixes.  Just the time of creating such a
 cross-referenced list is prohibitive for me, unless you have found an internet 
source I have not stumbled on.  I like the approach of Dynamic Literacy, but it 
is pricey. Any ideas?
