About the Greek Roots "Ant" and "Anti" Worksheet

Greek Roots "Ant" and "Anti" focuses on developing students' understanding of word structure and syllabification through the exploration of common Greek root words. This interactive and printable worksheet, that aligns with the Common Core State Standards, Greek Roots Ant and Anti introduces students to ten different words containing these Greek roots while teaching them how to break words into syllables using the hash symbol as a delimiter.

The worksheet provides a clear example with the word "antagonist" and progresses through increasingly complex words like "antidepressant" and "antibiotic." Students practice identifying syllable breaks in words with varying levels of difficulty, enhancing their phonological awareness and vocabulary development.
