English From The Roots Up Flashcards, Vol. 1 Available To Downloads
These Latin and Greek root cards are designed for those high school students using English from the Roots Up, who have less time than enthusiasm. Just like the ones found in the book!

I purchased both the book and the flash cards. After reviewing both I kept the flash cards and returned the book.The flash cards have everything you need, and they are ready to use. The flash cards include all forms of the greek or latin word on the front, and on the back they list many common English words based on the root.The book requires that you make flash cards. The book also includes a few pages of background material, but not enough to make it worth the money. While the book has a lot of useful material, it is not as easy to use as the flash cards. The book would have just sat on the shelf -- the flash cards were put to use the day they arrived.The flash cards are great and they are really the most helpful. Purchase the flash cards.
I used this book when my daughter was in her primary years. We played the games and created the cards. We formed Greek and Latin combination words as fun challenges. She was able to read Old English literature with ease. She soared through Biology because of her root word knowledge. She has thanked me several times over the years for this fantastic foundation. She is a successful college student and her ACT scores were fantastic.
We went through the 100 roots, learned them and made cards and I think making the cards is a big part of the learning process. I like to have a copy of these to use as flashcards for review. My only complaint would be, I wish they had included the pronunciation like they do in the book.
My third grader loves this! He is getting more from these flash cards than he does from spelling/vocabulary at school! I highly recommend this product to anyone.
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.
The content on the cards is wonderful. However, these cards are made out of flimsy paper and will not withstand use by children.I went to get them laminated to preserve my investment and that was going to be another $25! So I spent another $10 and bought a roll of clear plastic and we hand cut and covered each card ourselves. This made the cost of these Flashcards to be almost $30! Had I known that, I would have made my own cards for this curriculum like I did 20 years ago for $2 on 3x5 cards.This was disappointing that the cards, themselves, we're made of such inferior materials. We have homeschooled 10 children over 25 years. I have never received Flashcards that were so flimsy rendering them unusable by children. Why offer such a help to your curriculum that is of inferior quality?
I don't really use the cards right now. I modified the directions from the book, and we use whole pages for each root. We put the root, meaning, and a graphic that reminds us of the picture. With one visual spatial learner and two with dysgraphia, the modified version works better for us.
I immediately put these to use in my classroom. This will help my students not only develop their vocabulary in writing, but also be able to recognize roots that will help them decipher the meanings of words when they read. I have more confidence in teaching these vocabulary words than any other method of developing vocabulary I have tried. It just makes sense.
