vocabulary workbook from Latin/Greek - grade 5

[EmilyGF]

Hi all,

I'd like to add some vocabulary study for at least DS10. He likes knowing the why behind everything, so I think a roots-based vocab book would be the best.

DS10 gets overwhelmed really easily, so it needs to be incremental. He also gets overwhelmed by too much writing, so, while I'd like a workbook for logistical reasons, it can't be too much writing. The words need to be hard enough that he feels like he's making progress.

Did you have good success with a roots-based vocabulary program? Suggestions?

Thanks, Emily

My oldest used Word Roots.  He liked it well enough but he used it to shore up spelling patterns.  I currently have Words On The Vine in my shelf and I really like the amount of writing and variety it has. https://www.google.com/books/edition/Words_on_the_Vine_Grades_5_8/abrqBQAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&pg=PR1&printsec=frontcover You also might consider something like Rummy Roots, where you play cards to learn Latin/Greek parts.

Vocabulary from Classical Roots is workbook-based for grades 4/5/6.

Scholastic has this simple Greek & Latin roots workbook, which my DS found enjoyable last year:

As well as a second book focused on prefixes / suffixes:

Caesar's English is lovely.

My older kids used English from the Roots Up, which is roots based and mostly used flash cards.

HI, this is such an interesting topic to me. I'm developing an app to teach students Latin and Greek morphemes/ word parts, the suffixes teach th parts of speech. I am looking for feedback.  If you would like to help, I would appreciate any feedback you have. You can find the app here - iOS Apple store Latyn Lyngo; I'm not yet selling the app, but just asking any interested people for their feedback.  It is Very clunky and I haven't figured out how to motivate a learner. Perhaps the students can give me advice. You can email me at info@latynlyngo.com to tell me what you think

Thank you

Forgot to add that it is a tumbler based game and the player drops various prefixes, roots, and suffixes to get whole words. or they can play nonsense.

thanks
