Grade 3
Reading RF.3.3.B
Decode words with common Latin suffixes.
Think Latin is a bit much for third grade? Yeah, well, back in the day, Romans were learning Latin from birth. Crazy, huh?
We're not going to force third graders to learn the entire Latin vernacular, but they hear plenty of Latin suffixes that they'll need to get a good grasp on before heading to fourth grade. So dust off your Latin dictionaries and get to work.
