Joy at Home Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Has anyone used this? I'm trying to decide on a word root program or vocabulary program for dd12. I already have Vocabulary Vine and have never used it, so I probably will try to incorporate that next year. But a workbook approach might be easier. Opinions? Thanks! lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hsmomto4 Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 We have used this program and like it very much. My oldest daughter loves words and can't get enough of these books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joy at Home Posted July 10, 2009 Author Share Posted July 10, 2009 Thank you! Since dd is a workbooky kind of gal, I thought these would go over well. Blessings, Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orthodox6 Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Two dc have used this program, and I'll use it again. Nothing flashy or attention-grabbing about it. Just straightforward information. Program works ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corraleno Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 (edited) I looked at at least 7 or 8 different roots/vocab programs and VFCR was my favorite. Things I like: 1. Easy, open-&-go workbook format (no need for extra materials like flashcards, no extra teacher planning, etc) 2. Different activities (antonyms, analogies, etc) to reinforce concepts 3. Built-in review every 4th lesson 4. Flexible -- with 16 lessons per book, you can do 2 books/yr or stretch it out with other activities, writing, etc 5. Books for 4th through 11th grade, so you don't need to switch programs every few years Jackie ETA: I would start with "Book 4" regardless of age/grade, and go through the books in order. If you start in Book 6 or Book A (7th grade) or whatever, you will miss learning the roots in the earlier books.
