Vocabulary From Classical Roots: A is part of a 5-book series, which if completed, will help junior high and high school students in their test-taking skills (especially the SAT and ACT).
This course is recommended for 7th Grade students for one semester's worth of lessons on Greek and Latin roots. If done along with a composition course, the length of time to complete the course could extend to a full year.
The authors encourage playing games and having contests and other highly-participatory activities to keep the students interested in the subject matter. Their suggestions are in the Teacher's Guide.
