Vocabulary Development with Latin and Greek Root Words

Description
Latin and Greek Roots Words are Important
Most of the words in the English language are derived from the Latin and Greek languages. Students can learn a few of these roots and then be able to determine the meaning of many words. For example, the word test can be changed by adding an affix such as re, pre, pro, and post to make a number of words. This can then be repeated with other roots.
By recognizing various root words, students can attempt to decode unfamiliar words which might be related. For example, if the student knows aqua means water, they could guess that aquatic has something to do with water. These types of roots are increasingly more common in science and with technical vocabulary as students progress through school.
To assist students in learning, I have included QR codes to various websites. Some of these include root word videos I have created on Youtube. You can find them at https://www.youtube.com/c/innovativeliteracy . You can also find them at my websites at https://innovativeliteracy.com .
