Wanting to increase vocabulary, I decided to purchase Word Roots. It is everything I was searching for and more. It goes beyond spelling tests and teaches students to decipher words based upon prefixes, suffixes, and roots. The focus is on meaning, which in turn increases comprehension.

Good for spelling, vocabulary recognition and deducing the meaning of unfamiliar words by the meaning of the roots.

I've tutored for many years. When I use your materials, children learn to think more logically and to figure things out step by step. This makes a remarkable difference in their ability to read, do math, or learn grammar, vocabulary, and spelling. I'm seeing test scores rapidly improve as students begin to make logical sense out of word problems, history or language arts. I also tutor in Latin. Your Word Roots books are exceptional. For children who have reading or vocabulary problems, it breaks things down into little, digestible pieces. It provides them with the continuity and concreteness they need. Great work, you guys!

My 12 year old daughter loves to begin her homeschool day doing pages from Word Roots. She can complete them independently and we check them together, learning new words each day. She is expanding her vocabulary quickly and recognizing how to discern the meaning of unfamiliar words by using what she knows about roots. I would recommend this series for budding writers wishing to build their vocabulary!
