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.
