(2) Reading/Vocabulary Development. Students understand new vocabulary and use it when reading and writing. Students are expected to:

• (A) determine the meaning of grade-level academic English words derived from Latin, Greek, or other linguistic roots and affixes;

• (B) use context (within a sentence and in larger sections of text) to determine or clarify the meaning of unfamiliar or ambiguous words;

• (C) complete analogies that describe part to whole or whole to part;

• (D) identify the meaning of foreign words commonly used in written English with emphasis on Latin and Greek words (e.g., habeus corpus, e pluribus unum, bona fide, nemesis); and

• (E) use a dictionary, a glossary, or a thesaurus (printed or electronic) to determine the meanings, syllabication, pronunciations, alternate word choices, and parts of speech of words.
