Grade 5 students explore Greek and Latin roots in this medium worksheet, including auto, bio, photo, dict, port, and scribe. Students fill nine sentences using root-based words like autobiography, biology, transport, dictionary, telegraph, and prescribe. A matching activity pairs four roots with their meanings: self, life, carry, and write. This sheet builds vocabulary alongside spelling skills and prepares students for harder root work ahead.
