Sue in MD Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 We are considering using one of these two for our children. Any thoughts or experiences with these that might help with our decision? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2cents Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 I've had both but stuck to Wordly Wise because I like the way it works with our schedule. Each lesson has a word list and then there are 5 activities using these words. I can schedule this nicely in a week format. I like classical roots too but wordly wise just was a better fit for us and the children seemed to retain the vocabulary better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue in MD Posted May 31, 2008 Author Share Posted May 31, 2008 Thanks for your thoughts. Do your children study Latin or Greek in addition to Wordly Wise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaeljenn Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 I am interested in this answer too. I really like Worldly Wise, but am wondering if I should add in a roots/latin program too. However, it would seem like overkill?? Any thoughts anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue in MD Posted May 31, 2008 Author Share Posted May 31, 2008 That's why I was asking - I know that the Classical Roots has Latin and Greek root words as the basis. Does Wordly Wise do the same? Or would you need some kind of supplement to hit the root words? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2cents Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 We're doing Gettin Started With Latin. It is very easy going. We like it and it works well with wordly wise for us. They are not so similar that it is overkill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen500 Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 I have both but decided to just do Wordly Wise. We also do Lively Latin and I thought the Classical Roots would be overkill for us. I may try alternating weeks between WW and Classical. We don't love WW, it's just ok for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
summer Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 We use Wordly Wise and then the computer game version of Word Roots. I have no experience with Classical Roots Vocab program though so I cannot offer an opinion on that, sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
