Thank you for this detailed lesson plan. The game integration to the lesson will catch the students' attention especially that this lesson is in Elementary level. I now have the idea in presenting my lesson with this game plan. :)

As a preservice teacher I was so happy to stumble upon this lesson and website. Having a clear direction in which to take in my own lesson plan has been invaluable! Thank you.

Great lesson plan is easily customizable across a range of grade levels. Root word mastery [or even just familiarization] is an invaluable tool for students to be equipped with as they tackle the complexities of virtually any academic subject area.

I think the answer key shouldn't be so easily accessible for students using computers to look up the word parts. My students are savvy and found the answers quite quickly.

I teach 7th/8th grade English/Language Arts in Kentucky. We have new teaching standards this year which include the teaching of root words, prefixes, and suffixes. I plan to begin with this lesson in January. Since I have always been very pleased with lesson plans from ReadWriteThink in the past, I feel certain this one will work beautifully as well.
