Explore the power of word roots with this vocabulary-building pack based on the morpheme “quadr” — meaning four.

This printable resource includes a set of structured grids that guide learners through the meaning, synonyms, sentence usage, and etymology of words such as quadrant, quadruplet, quadruped, and more. The first word is fully modelled (quad) to help learners get started, and suggested answers are included for support.

Perfect for home educators, tutors, or parents looking to build deeper vocabulary knowledge in a dyslexia-friendly way, this resource helps children see connections between words, understand spelling patterns, and enjoy the logic of English.

As a dyslexia specialist, I’ve designed this to be visually clear and accessible for independent or supported use. Some learners may even wish to illustrate each word, adding a creative element to reinforce meaning.
