A creative, interactive, hands-on approach to vocabulary! What better way to retain the learning of new words? Using index cards, a file box, and a good dictionary, this approach is a welcome departure from the typical workbook fare. And, subtitled: Help for Reading, Writing, Spelling and S.A.T. Scores, it’s obvious from looking at this book that it would, indeed, do just that! How? By teaching the roots of the English language found in Greek and Latin. Since the majority of our words are rooted in these classical languages, mastering these roots is a key that will open the door to understanding a myriad of words! The creative activity suggestions in this book could become the basis for wonderful unit studies as well.

Rhonda C. from Tennessee wrote the following on 01/02/2007:
I think English from the Roots Up is a very easy and solid vocabulary program. It is definitely easy to use and I have been surprised at how fast my 9 year old has learned and how much she has retained by using this. It has increased her vocabulary in several areas including science. It is excellent for teaching the root words and at helping the student understand the definition of a word that is totally new to them. It can be used for almost any grade level which makes it a very reasonable investment. I do encourage the purchase of the flashcards as well. It is worth a little extra to have those.

When we finished English from the Roots Up, Volume 1, we had difficulty locating Volume 2. However, Rainbow Resource came to the rescue again! By spending less than 5 minutes per day, even my 7 year old son has learned all of the roots in Volume 1 and is well into Volume 2. The flash cards are a nice addition, and well worth the money. My three children enjoying going through the whole stack as quickly as they can! When learning can be fun and easy, why not? English from the Roots Up certainly makes the grade.
