Do you still use a vocab program if you are doing latin?

I wasn't sure if I needed both. Thanks!

We use Vocabulary from Classical Roots. I have found that it significantly reinforces and drills the Latin we are studying.

I do because I'm worried about SAT scores. My sons say it's busy work, but I make them do it anyway. Wordly Wise for ds13 and Vocab for the College Bound for ds15.

was posted a few weeks ago, in which I gave our reasons for continuing to do vocabulary, along with what we used.

Thanks! I had Vocab for the High School Student planned for him and will go ahead and get it.

An interesting book you might want to consider is "Words and Ideas" by William J. Dominik. (ISBN 086516485-1). Word building is taught parts to whole but contextually. It starts out with word building basics, provides Latin and Greek word building tools, and then branches out to teach word building in the areas of mythology, medicine, politics and law, economics, philosophy and history. It's probably best for high school or those learning independently.

Thanks, I will look into it.

We also do both. For ninth and tenth grade, we used Wordly Wise for 20 weeks and Vocab from Classical Roots for the remainder of the school year. FWIW, the girls found many WW vocab words on the SAT.

 

HTH!

This sounds fascinating. Thanks.

 

We don't do a separate vocabulary program. Then again, we're the type of family that uses words like "bifurcate" and "referent" in casual conversation -- which is to say that we're a bit on the geeky side and overly fond of words.
