My oldest used Wordly Wise and Word Roots. 

My youngest didn't do an organized vocabulary study.  It was part of his reading comprehension (Elson Readers) and Latin/Greek studies, so I didn't add anything else.

[Nm.]

I have a Latin course, Getting started with Latin, they liked it when we tried it, and I think some Greek root thing.  That might be just what we need to do.

NM found vocab victor app.  Just right!

We use Michael Clay Thompson’s grammar. My son loves it & always gets excited when we come across his vocabulary words “in the wild”.

I've used Wordly Wise, Vocab from Classical Roots, and Vocabulit and liked them all to some extent.

WW was easy and a good thing to use to get them started with an "on their own" subject.

VCR was probably the most rigorous, but some of the words are a little archaic in the upper levels.

Vocabulit is easier than VCR, but some of its analogies are not good analogies and it drives me a little bonkers. But I do love that it introduces the words in the context of a reading from quality literature.
