jtap04 Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I am looking for a program to teach my girls the Latin and Greek roots of words. I don't like how many vocabulary programs seem "all over the place". I am looking for something that teaches the roots of words, without getting into declensions, etc. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

whitestavern Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Have you looked at English From the Roots Up? Sounds like it might fit the bill. We used it last year and liked it enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
profmom Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 We used and liked Vocabulary Vine! The students make flashcards with the roots, one or two or so at a time. With girls, especially, you can uses colored index cards, sparkly gel pens, etc. to make it fun. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

almondbutterandjelly Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Vocabulary from Classical Roots. They have Vocabulary from Classical Roots 4, 5, 6, A, B, C, D, E (from grade 4 through grade 11). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Wife Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 We're using MCT's Caesar's English series with the Red Hot Root Words workbook from Prufrock Press. RHRW is kind of dull by itself but makes a nice complement to CE (which is light on the practice exercises). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoys this more and she also uses Critical Thinking Word Roots B1 software too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
