*Upper Elementary: Latin and Greek Word Roots

Latin and Greek Word Roots

"Upper elementary school students need to go beyond phonics, syllable knowledge and simple prefixes and suffixes because word length and complexity change dramatically beyond third grade"

"The end of third grade is the time to introduce students to the Latin roots and Greek combining forms used frequently in social studies, math, and science text books"
