b.motherofthree.harvey Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 I took Etymology with ACE in high school, and it was so beneficial to my SAT scores and my reading comprehension. What curriculum for a 6th grader would you recommend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Megawords? It has some of that and is geared toward upper elementary/middle school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mama27 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Is there a reason you don't just use ACE? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lily_Grace Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Maybe a school course, like Vocabulary for Achievement? It starts in 6h grade and goes through 12th. Amazon has reviews and a chance to look inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b.motherofthree.harvey Posted December 27, 2012 Author Share Posted December 27, 2012 Is there a reason you don't just use ACE? Initially, I considered using ACE's entire curricula, but the more I thought about it, the less I liked the memorize and dump factor. I learned a lot, but there's a lot that I stored long enough to test, and then ejected. I jokingly called it "self-inflicted learning" when we started it. :) While the Etymology is likely to be overall memorization anyways, I was curious about other possibilities. I taught Prima Latina for a year at a private school when my oldest was a baby, but that doesn't really get into the greek roots that we use so often, and doesn't always address the pre/suff. So...I thought I'd see what else is out there. I'm still fishing for everything, and just about the time I think I've got it nailed, I find a review or comment somewhere that makes me think I don't... :banghead: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
