Ancient roots

What is “Ancient roots”?

Ancient roots is a 4th grade reading skill in the Root & Riddle Ridge region of the TernQuest map — prefixes, endings, ancient roots & spelling. It is aligned to California Common Core standard L.4.4c. Children work through 24 grade-tagged questions at the reason level (reasoning it through), and Pip the tern offers a hint — never the answer — when they get stuck.

How does it unlock?

Skills on the map unlock in order: finishing the skill before this one with a mastery score of 60 or more opens ancient roots. A grown-up can also assign it directly from the dashboard, and teachers can assign it to a whole class with a join code.
