susie Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 I'm trying to decide on vocabulary for my 11 yr. old ds. Not sure why I'm having a tough time deciding! This year he did Wordly Wise book 5--not challenging for him--easily completed assignments & aced tests. Should we continue Wordly Wise (maybe skip book 6 and do 7)? or Vocabulary from Classical Roots book A? Would love to hear opinions! Thanks. (I already own Vocab. CR book A---so that's a plus--wouldn't need to buy any vocabulary books!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom27kidz Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 We've been using Vocabulary Vine this year. It has really boosted their vocabulary. It's Latin and Greek roots though.... not sure if you're interested in that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gstharr Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 We been using WW on-line for a couple of years with the very soon to be 7th grader. Very convenient. on-line is cheaper than the books when bought with Homeschoolbuyers'discount. You are not stuck to current grade level. We find staying one full year ahead of grade level best. e.g. 6th grade working on 8th.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clemsondana Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 We've used both, and it's a matter of preference. I loved WW as a kid, but my son didn't love it as he hit the harder years. He enjoys Vocab with Classical Roots, so we do that instead. He also takes Latin, so that may be part of why he likes it so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
