As a homeschool mom who tries to carefully craft curriculum, vocabulary was not a favorite...UNTIL we found The Critical Thinking Co.'s Word Roots workbooks. My son is now looking forward to vocabulary, and he even invented his own words based on roots he has studied. His spelling, also, has been improving because this text breaks down roots, prefixes, and suffixes so my son is breaking down words to formulate the correct spelling. We are very happy to have found this product.

My daughter says Word Roots is challenging and fun. One day when I was trying to figure out a complex word, my daughter said, 'Mom, do you want me to take that word apart for you?' Word Roots is just what she needs to connect with the roots she's already doing.

My son struggles with spelling. This program has been wonderful. He's learning and remembering prefixes, roots, and suffixes while having fun. It has also helped him with pronunciation and comprehension of what he reads.

Good for my Reluctant Reader

Good for my Reluctant Reader! We purchased this product and have used it for about 3 weeks. It has exercises that help you analyze and interpret root words and the prefixes and suffixes that help them make up larger words. There are four assignments per Lesson, so we do a lesson a week. Additionally, there is review after every 2-3 Lessons. We decided to treat the non-review lessons as practice and the review ones as tests. There is an answer key in the back for all the exercises.
