Common Core Standards

Grade 5

Language L.5.4.B

Use common, grade-appropriate Greek and Latin affixes and roots as clues to the meaning of a word (e.g., photograph, photosynthesis).

Your students might never become classicists (a teacher can dream) but that doesn't mean you can't help them get a little ancient up in here. With this substandard, your students will gain a loose understanding of the Latin and Greek languages that they can use to break down the meaning of words in a logical fashion.
