Our whole family uses these cards after dinner to expand our vocabulary. They are also ideal for teaching spelling because the student learns a group of related words for each Root. 3 or 4 Roots cards will provide a week's spelling AND vocabulary list for my sixth-grader. Combining two subjects in one is a huge time-saving bonus for busy moms!

We love this method of learning! |

Both of my children, the 12 year old "wordsmith" and the 9 year old artist, love the game we've made out of "Roots". I give them a Latin or Greek word, then some English words they may know and they try to guess the meaning. They are often able to get close to the meaning of the root word which cements their learning. We follow the directions for making color-coded cards (the artist child loves to decorate her card with pictures of the word meaning as well). It's easy to flip through the book and pick and choose the words you will do - you can pick synonyms, antonyms or words that delight a specific child. We really love this method of learning Latin and Greek roots.

My girls enjoy using English From the Roots Up |

Both of my girls, 6th and 8th grade, enjoy using English From the Roots Up. We are becoming quite "rooted" in our English language as we sit together and learn. The amount of derivatives differ appropriately on the back of their flash cards according to each level of ability. We plan to review these cards each year and build upon them.
