Juliana Lyon5 Stars Out Of 5We love this!November 29, 2010Juliana LyonQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5The lessons are well laid out and the roots are pertinent to every day words. I was expecting something antiquated, but this is really a fantastic step after a regular spelling program. My daughter is enjoying it as well and recognizing roots in much of her reading.

Jacqueline Goodman-yaich5 Stars Out Of 5February 17, 2010Jacqueline Goodman-yaichThis is an easy curriculum for learning root words. And not a lot of planning on the parents part. We are currently using Book 6 and are loving it. My children {and myself} are gaining a greater understanding to the English language as well as the other languages that helped to form it.
