Vocabulary Vine: A Spiral Study of Latin and Greek Roots

More fun, better reinforcement, less money. Vocabulary Vine teaches 108 common roots through familiar example words, spiral study, and 12 zero-preparation games. Students in 4th – 9th learn independently in 15 min./day (modify for 2nd – 12th). Reinforcement comes naturally as children compose sentences that emphasize the meanings of the roots and review recent roots. Familiar example words (no obscure ones) help children remember root meanings. Soon they’re noticing roots in other subjects, where 95% of upper vocabulary is root-based. By a homeschooler. Non-consumable. See Vine’s sequel, Science Roots, for high school biology.Hasseler, Nancy is the author of 'Vocabulary Vine: A Spiral Study of Latin and Greek Roots', published 2005 under ISBN 9780977691609 and ISBN 0977691608.
