Spelling List 33: Latin Roots Worksheets for 4th Grade

What your child practices

Your child studies the 4th grade words for latin roots (Grade 4 in Canada) across 6 worksheets and 72 questions. By upper elementary, spelling depends on patterns, prefixes and suffixes as much as sounds, so each list groups words that share a pattern. Inside you will find Word Practice, ABC Order, Missing Letters, Unscramble, Fill in the Sentence and Spelling Test. It is aligned to Common Core L.4.2d, which focuses on capital letters, punctuation and spelling. It also touches L.4.4b, working out the meaning of unknown words. In Canada it matches the BC curriculum for Grade 4. Each PDF includes its own answer key on page 2, ready for you or your child to check. After printing, the online version gives instant feedback and reads each question aloud.

Tips for parents

• Have your child mark the part of each word that is tricky, then practice just that part.
• Say each word aloud, have your child spell it, then check together. Talk about the latin roots pattern.
• Let your child write tricky words in chalk, sand or shaving cream for a change of pace.
