Thank you for this review! I’ve been wanting to add in some roots, but I didn’t know what to buy. I’m just going to buy the cards and we will create our own games for them. Ami

Jimmie,
You surprise me because you were someone I would think would just make up your own cards. You are always so creative and make your daughter’s learning so fun.

Glad you got something out of the review.

Oh, wow. This sounds good. I have some root word resources in my wishlist. I need to see if this is of them.

I like your approach too — slow and steady, like the tortoise who beat the hare. How many of us get gung-ho and burn out too soon?

Dawn-
I have written about The Easy Spanish program right here on CC. Take a look. The only other program we have found helpful is Rosetta Stone.

I have been considering these for part of my [now public school] kids SAT/ACT prep in a year or two. When we homeschooled we went the Latin route–I think this is more what we should have done, since the only Latin they seem to remember is “Oremos” [spelling??] or “Let’s Pray”!! We say it each night at the table….
