As a tutor for language arts, I am always looking for better tools to help students build word power. This series is wonderful. It's well organized and teaches roots and related words together. The exercises are sufficiently challenging to keep even advanced students interested.

I've taught English for over 25 years, and this is the best source for classical vocabulary that I have ever found. I am impressed by the different levels that are in the series. It helps students to go beyond the regular vocabulary lesson to really understand what our words mean and where they came from.

This review is from: Vocabulary from Classical Roots - A (Paperback)

I really like the concept of Vocabulary from Classical Roots. The student does not learn individual, non-related vocabulary words, but groups of words associated with a latin root. Once the roots are learned then the student can identify challenging words through the root. The program also takes the words and gives practice in the use of the word - whether it is a noun, adj., verb, etc.
I didn't give it a full five stars, because some will think it is dry. There are no cute drawings and comics here, just a no-nonsense vocab program. There is a review built in, but it comes after several lessons. It would be great if there was some type of review to continuously study the roots. I need to prepare my own concentration game or something for that.
