This year, 2011-2012, the kids will finish up English From The Roots Up. They began it last year, and then I switched to the RC vocabulary and we started to do Prima Latina. Well, we didn’t finish the latin and I thought why not just learn latin roots instead of the whole language. So, long story short, I am having them put the RC vocabulary aside and focus on Latin and Greek roots. I made some notebooking pages last year for them to use, so they will continue with that. They are below and can be used with either volume of English From the Roots Up.

Our Schedule For English From The Roots Up (348) This shows what we do each day using English From The Roots Up. It is simple, but effective. *Update 08/16/2011: I broke the words down into weeks as well as adding when tests will be given. So, if you downloaded it before the 16th of August, you might want to re-download. It also shows when I schedule in tests. |

English From The Roots Up Notebooking Pages (407)
These notebooking pages are good to use for both volumes. I’ve included a black and white version for those who would like to save ink. We will most likely go this route,having the kids color around the rectangle with marker. |

English From The Roots Up Games & Flashcards Volume 1 (358)
This includes flashcards of the root and definition that can be used in various games. I included some games to get you started. These by no means replace the flashcards put out by English From The Roots Up. We have the cards and we mostly use them for the kids to copy from. These are made mainly for review and game play. Enjoy! |

We most likely will be using English From The Roots Up Volume 2 next year. If you are using it this year, you can take a look at what our schedule is for volume 1, it most likely will be the same. And, stay tuned as I will add to this area in the near future. I already have volume 2, so I will be ahead with the prep for next year by doing them now.

Stay tuned for the flashcards and game idea download
I will be adding the tests I make for the kids here. These will include the 1st quarter, semester, 2nd quarter and the final test for the year.
Thank you so much for sharing your ideas and hard work. I am teaching EFTRU in a co-op setting and needed fresh ideas for reviewing.

Loved using your info as a guide for Vol 1. We are almost done, so I’m looking forward to Vol 2. but I have to get the book:-) Thank you for all you do.
Great tests! Thanks! I was just wondering whether you will be posting the tests for the rest of the words of volume 1: words 25 thru 100. I really could use them!
Glad to hear that you can like the tests.
Yes, I plan on posting them as we get to them…eventually all.
