Words with Greek or Latin Prefixes Presentation

A comprehensive presentation by KS2Gems, tailored for Year 6 students, is designed to enhance their spelling skills, particularly focusing on words that incorporate Greek or Latin prefixes. The objective is for students to become proficient in spelling a variety of words that utilise these prefixes. The presentation is a versatile educational tool that can be used to introduce and practise the word list, consolidate the learned spelling, and serve as a revision resource. It provides detailed teacher instructions, spelling rules, and engaging activities that can be adapted to the class's needs, allowing for individual, paired, or group work. The activities include both whole class and independent tasks, which can be recorded in exercise books or on whiteboards.

The presentation is rich in content, offering a curated word list divided into two sections, each containing words that exemplify the use of specific prefixes. It also includes a series of "Guess the word" slides, providing clues for students to identify words from the list. Furthermore, the presentation delves into the meanings of various prefixes, such as 'hemi/semi' for half, 'mono/uni' for one, and 'tri' for three, among others, with corresponding examples. To reinforce learning, there is an anagram challenge where students unscramble letters to form words from the spelling lists, followed by solutions for self-assessment. The presentation concludes with a sentence and paragraph challenge, prompting students to construct meaningful and interesting sentences and paragraphs using the words, with a tip to check word meanings in a dictionary for better understanding.
