How can teaching Latin and Greek affixes help all students, and particularly English-language learners?

What will be an ideal response?


Answers will vary,but responses should cover the following:the spelling of the affixes is quite consistent, and students can apply what they know about an affix when they see it in a new word. Also, ELLs can use what they know from their first language (if that language is based in Greek or Latin) to read and define words in English.
