This book is just what I was looking for! It breaks down words into roots, prefixes and suffixes, so kids can start to understand how they combine to create different meanings. The lessons are laid out really well and I find them easy to teach and my kids to follow along. My 8 year old find it the most interesting and is able to do it mostly on her own. I help my 6 year old by reading it to him but he is able to do the exercises and do some of the reading on his own once the words are broken down and repeated through the exercises.

This book is fantastic. It actually provides the definitions of the root words, prefixes, and suffixes; so they’re not just adding/subtracting parts of a word, students are learning the definitions of every new word they create. I am also teaching them syllable breakdown with the words. I’ve started both my 9 and 10 yr old on this book as part of their language arts curriculum, and will continue using the series.

We are using Word Roots (Beginning) for Homeschooling and my daughter is loving it. I start off helping her with the first example and then she will say, “Mom don’t help me. “I want to do this by myself.” For someone who dislikes reading and would cry to pick up a book, sure loves this book! I’m glad she’s enjoying this book. She’s doing one lesson per day. We also bought Level 1 as well and can’t to start on it as soon as she’s finished with the Beginning Level!
