About the Worksheet

This interactive and printable worksheet,, titled "Cleaning Up With Root Words," is designed to help children practice their understanding of root words and their derivatives. The worksheet features a playful scenario where Sunny's room is messy, and the child is tasked with cutting out the clothes on the floor and gluing them under the drawers that display the correct root words. This interactive activity encourages learners to engage with language and develop their vocabulary skills in a engaging and visually appealing manner.

The worksheet covers a range of root words, including "multi," "fact," "aud," "port," "cent," and "dict," among others.
