Journeys spelling lesson does not teach a grade-level standard. Teacher will need to substitute CC.L.6.4b and create their own lessons for the week. Teacher will need to review the English Language Arts Common Core Standards Unpacking document to understand the criteria specified by CC.L.6.4b.

CC. L.6.4 Determine or clarify the meaning of unknown and multiple-meaning words and phrases based on grade 6 reading and content, choosing flexibly from a range of strategies.CC.L.6.4b Use common, grade-appropriate Greek or Latin affixes and roots as clues to the meaning of a word (e.g., audience, auditory, audible)
