Great intro to Word Roots
I love this book! I have used it with 3 of my children so far and plan next year to use it wth my youngest. Each of the 36 lessons has 3 activity sheets plus suggestions for further activities. There are a couple of levels of activities, so you could easily return to the book later and do the harder ones as review. In addition, each lesson has other words listed that also share the root, so it would allow for additional work if you wanted to spread out the book over 2 years or use later again. My only complaint, which another reviewer mentioned, is that there is not a Words on the Vine 2-that is a real cirme!

Fun and educational for all ages
My kids and I worked this book over the summer. What a great introduction to Latin!

Help please
Can anyone tell me if the book words on the vine has an answer key with it? Thanks. sgray
