English from the Roots Up....

Thinking about using this for my 8th/10th graders this year for vocabulary. Just wondering what your experience has been with this curriculum.

My recommendation is that you just get the cards. The book is a waste of money, in my opinion.

How funny! We bought just the book used, no cards, and it worked great for us! Different strokes for different folks! ; ) We did 2 roots a day, 2x a week, using it as a game -- first trying to guess what the root meant by coming up with words that had that root in it. The book has the root words, lots of words using that root, plus plenty of extra info. But then, we used the book as a book, and would not have used cards as a flashcard aid. Warmly, Lori D.

LOL. We had the book too, but ended up making cards because they were easier to use. The cards you buy have all the info on them. I wish I had only gotten them. :)
