These free printables are really graphic organizers to use with the study of new vocabulary words or roots. I designed these to be used with grades four and above.
There is room for these facts about your selected word:
- meaning
- example phrases or sentence — write your own for maximum learning benefit
- picture or cartoon to illustrate the word
- a breakdown of prefix, root, and suffix — fill in as applicable
- other forms of the word — adjective, noun, verb, or adverb forms
- synonymns
- antonyms
- part of speech
This layout focuses on a single root. This page has room for
- what language it comes from, usually Greek or Latin
- its meaning
- an icon or symbol that represents the meaning (get creative)
- example words using the root (I recommend you highlight the root in each example word.)
As always, I love to hear when you use the free printables from The Notebooking Fairy in your homeschool. If you send me photos, I will feature you in a Show Off post.

Farewell to the Vocab curriculum. This is perfect – thanks so much!
This worksheet is awesome! I homeschool my hi func autistic 13 yr old and we are using your sheet (the top one pictured here) daily! He reads outloud (right now from a DK volcano book) and when he gets to a word he does not know, he writes it on your sheet. When he gets to 4 words, he stops and looks in the dictionary to fill out the vocabulary sheet. If we are out and about he uses Spellingcity.com (on my phone).
I just wanted to share how we use this sheet and say thanks for making it!!
I am so encouraged that you’ve found the page helpful. And I also appreciate your getting specific with how you use it. That is sure to help other moms.
This is a great sheet. What would you suggest if you have a list of 15 spelling/vocab words?
I have the same thought as the other Tricia
I was thinking of printing the template on 5×8 index cards and giving each kid a bag or ring. We use Wordly Wise and take two weeks to go through each 15-word section. I was thinking we’d do the cards during Daily 5 – kids decide how many to do per day, as long as all are done by the 2nd Friday…
It’s a great template – I’m looking forward to using it with my 4th graders!
Absolutely awesome vocabulary sheet! Well done and thanks for sharing your remarkable talent.
I love your vocabulary page. Thanks so much! I am also a new and soon to be faithful follower.
Thanks so much! I have been trying to figure out what to do for vocabulary for my 6th Grader. You have provided the answer! Thank you so much for sharing your creations!
