I was so happy to see volume two of these cards available. I have used volume one for years. I can't think of a more easy, effortless way to enhance vocabulary studies, foreign languages, or even science (classification). When the kids know these roots, they can figure out the meaning of so many words; it is just amazing! My students test really high in vocabulary and I give these little items credit for a large part of that (also reading lots of GOOD books).
I love, love, love these cards. I was exposed to Latin terms when I was in college, and it thrills me to no end to expose my two students to these terms now. My 9th grade student uses these cards when defining terms in her biology class. And my young 3rd grade student has been exposed to them more slowly in terms of thinking of how these root words are used in our English language still.We didn't buy the workbooks with these two volumes of cards. We just stuck with the cards. It was much cheaper, and these cards will last for several years. I look forward to using and reusing these cards for many years to come.
My son just started using these cards to study Greek and Latin Root words.He(a 9th grader) took PSAT test before we got these and got his score yesterday.He missed 5 vocab questions, which is big deal in this test.After he reviewed what he had missed, he said, "mom, now that I know more Greek and Latin root wordsI could've gotten most of these answers right"There are books and flashcards, but a few reviewers said that flashcards were more helpful to study.I absolutely agree with them.I and my husband are ESL learner so sometimes we can pick a few cards each to study and rotate the cards between 3 of us.Sometimes my 5th grader learns a word or two and thinks it's not too bad. Much less intimidating than dealing with pageful of all big words.We love them and would recommend to our friends.
These are index card type flash cards, easy to read. One side has the word root and the other has the definition and several words made from the root with their definitions. If you are trying to decide between the book and the flash cards I would say go with the flash cards unless you want your child to make their own cards which is the point of the book. The book does give a little history behind each root but that is the only extra info within the book itself. The only con with the cards is durability. They are the same as an index card and over time will wear and tear.
If you just want to learn some Greek and Latin roots, these would be great! I, however, bought them intending to study for the verbal section of the GRE. For me, it was a waste of time and money. The TYPES of roots presented by the flashcards are not those one would need for this kind of test. If that is your intention, I would suggest forgoing this purchase. I was able to do just fine on the test without the help of these cards (as I gave up after getting halfway through and then looking over the remaining cards).
Very impressed with these flashcards. Got them for my grandchildren who are preparing for their SAT's. Have been sold on learning vocabulary from the roots up for many years. Just learning a few roots expands your vocabulary in a very powerful way.
