Greek and Latin Roots Worksheet

English borrows lots of words from other languages, and it has many ties to Greek and Latin. For example, 'tri', 'sub' and 'tele' (all from Greek and Latin) mean 'three', 'under' and 'distance' respectively.

Language development between the ages of 5-9 is a critical period that shapes a child’s overall learning and social experiences. During these years, children expand their vocabulary, improve their ability to form sentences, and develop essential communication skills. Investing in language development enhances literacy skills, paving the way for academic success. Children who are proficient in language can better express their ideas, emotions, and needs, leading to improved self-esteem and social interaction.

Parents and teachers should care because strong language skills also correlate with better comprehension and critical thinking abilities. Engaging with children through conversations, reading, and interactive activities fosters not only language skills but also cognitive development. Close attention to language development allows educators to identify challenges early, providing timely interventions that can prevent long-term educational struggles.

Moreover, language is inherently connected to a child's ability to form relationships, cooperative play, and conflict resolution. As parents and teachers nurture language skills, they equip children with the tools they need for effective communication with peers and adults alike. Ultimately, supporting language development supports a child's holistic growth, setting a solid foundation for future learning, socialization, and emotional well-being.
