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.

ERU Volume 1 and 2 on Quizlet
Teresa so kindly shared her hard work of inputting these into Quizlet.
Here is her note: I’d also like to share something with everyone that might help along the way. I set up flash cards online so that my kids could study, play games, and take practice tests. You could find them at http://www.quizlet.com Look up my user name, “whatagig.” I made sets for all the ERU Volume 1 Latin and Greek roots. You’ll see that there are 8 sets, 12 roots per set for the first seven and 16 roots for the eighth. It’s easy to understand once you take a look at it. (I just started Volume 2, so it’s incomplete so far. I’ll hopefully get it done soon.)
Quizlet is free. You could make an account of your own and then copy my sets onto your own profile. After you acquire the sets, you could place them in folders according to Cynthia’s test schedule. This makes studying for her tests even easier.
The roots are broken down into 35 weeks with the last two weeks being for study and review of all 100 roots.
It also shows when I schedule in tests.
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 will be taking tests beginning on week 5 and then every 4 weeks after.
I have included the answers for each test for your convenience. 🙂

Thank you, Thank you, for sharing and creating these pages for all the homeschooling families out here. I really appreciate your hard work and assistance to help others like myself. You are a blessing!
This website is going to be such a huge blessing for me this year as we begin EFRU with a wide range of ages. Thank you for taking the time to do these and being willing to share them online….FOR FREE!!!!
You are welcome. I am glad they can help you out. 🙂
Oh WOW! Thank you so much for sharing these! I'm starting ERU vol1 w/my 4th grader & I was hoping to find some direction! WOW! And… thank you! ;0)
Thank you for sharing your work with others!
THANK YOU! This saves me so much time.
Hello! Thank you so much for sharing your ideas for free! I have actually started EFRU with my 5 year old for vocab development. We learn one word a week. If kids can learn to say diplodocus, they can learn to say photos means light. I developed a simple worksheet format for a very young student, but love this higher level set. This will be great review for him in a few years. Can’t wait to add level 2 to our files!
It is my pleasure. 🙂
I appreciate all the work you have put into these – thank you for sharing!
You are welcome, enjoy!

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. 🙂
