dancer67 Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 We have been using this since September. For my 13 yo. I am not sure I like it or not. It seems confusing for her but once she gets into the groove it seems to stick. Do you like it? love it? Hate it? I don't know, is there something better out there?

DragonFaerie Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 DD10 uses VfCR in conjunction with Wordly Wise 3000 right now. She likes it and doesn't have any trouble with is. I'm not sure how much really sticks as far as using the words in her own writing and such. But she does learn the words and what they mean for reading purposes. That said, we're not going to use it next year. We are stepping up her Latin study so I am switching to a more spelling-oriented program (SWS) for next year.

atozmom Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 We started it at the beginning of the year for dd. She is doing the later books for high school. I can't say that it seems to be helping at all. She really retains more just from reading her literature selections and looking up words she does not know. We used Vocabulary Vine before and I personally like it better. I asked dd about it and she says she got more out of it than VfCR. I think we may just go back to that along with having her continue to look up anything she doesn't understand while reading her assigned literature book.

EKS Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 I absolutely *hate* VfCR. I've tried it with two children. I like the MCT books (Caesar's English I and II) somewhat better mostly because they try to make the words more relevant. Right now I'm about to try MCT's Classic Words (it's just a list). I'm going to do my own lessons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolphin Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 ok, I have checked the abbreviations page. What is a VFCR? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgehog Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 ok, I have checked the abbreviations page. What is a VFCR? Vocabulary from Classical Roots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
