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. 🙂

We are going to begin English From The Roots Up Volume 2 in the next few months. The kids are doing real well with this program.
Below you will find our schedule, flash cards, and the tests that I am making up for the kids.
Enjoy,
This is a schedule week by week. Each week has 3 words to be learned. After 4 weeks, a test is given.

I was so excited to find this! This is more than a blessing for me to be able to keep up with my kid’s ERU progress! However, I may be confused. When I started grading his tests, he was failing them all. When looking closer, I see that many of your key answers aren’t correct (Specifically, the Semester test.) Maybe I am missing something, can you help? Again, thanks so much for sharing.
Peace,
Heather
Thank you Heather! I am looking into it right now. I emailed you. 🙂
Wow! Thank you so much for putting it all together and sharing. This is exactly what I needed.
You are very welcome Inna! Thank you for taking the time to let me know that they are what you needed. It is always a joy to hear. 🙂
Thank you so much for preparing and sharing tests and answer keys for EFRU! We included the Vol 1 tests in a workbook we made for each student in our homeschool co-op, and they made reviewing and testing so much easier! Next school year we plan to use Vol 2. Thank you, again, and God bless you!
You are very welcome. I love hearing how others use these. Thanks for sharing!
You are welcome! I am glad it can help some as you study ERU. Enjoy!
I just found this post. We have the cards, but I wasn't sure what to do with them. Thanks for posting this!
A blog post from GuestHollow sent me here, and I am so delighted!
Thanks for the great materials!
It is my pleasure to share these with you. Enjoy!
Thank you so much this is totally what I have been looking for!
You are very welcome. I am glad you can use them. 🙂
Thank you so much for putting together these great resources for EFTRU and for making them free! I am so excited to use these with my 5th grader this year. Cheers!
Thank you so much. Doing same thing with RC. Really wanted to work on this instead but felt kind of stumped. Thank you for sharing all you hard work.
I just found your site, and boy do I wish I had found it earlier! Thank you so very much for all you have offered here.
We (my 3rd grade son & I) started the flashcards this year, but we got away from it because it felt so “bla” and not like we were gaining a lot.
We’re planning to use Prima Latina next year, but I’m excited to use the flashcards over the summer w/ him and incorporate your things!
So thanks!
Thank you!
just what I have been looking for thank you.
Thank you so much for sharing! I had just started making the cards and decided to look on Pinterest and found your page…You are truly a Blessing! Thanks again!!!
I am so glad you found my site Myrna and that it has blessed you. You are truly welcome. –Cynthia
I am new to homeschooling and have been gathering info trying to decide how to organize vocabulary lessons and just came across your site. This is absolutely perfect. Thank you SO much for sharing this!
Hi Terri,
Glad you found my site.:) I am happy to share and am glad you found them useful.
BLESS YOU for sharing these! It is just what I was looking for. What a life saver!!!
I have used EFRU for years, and never considered that someone would have graciously offered worksheets laboriously made for others. What a blessing! This will really add to the lessons. Thanks so very much!
You are very welcome Donna. I am so glad you can use them.
This is an absolute God-send! I’m sure I could do the same but having these already done and available for us to use is such a blessing.
Thank you sooo much!!
Another grateful visitor here! I was just about to make my own notebooking pages for EFRU and decided to google it first. Sure enough, I hit a gold mine here. Thanks for sharing your work!
I've used volume one for years, but never really got too much into with the students beyond warm-ups. The book didn't offer much beyond copying down the cards. Now I feel I have more direction. Thanks you so much for offering this and doing so out of the goodness of your heart-not as a money maker. Teachers spend enough as it is on materials.
Thanks for sharing all of these worksheets with us. Just wondered if you ever got to the vol 2 tests.
I couldn’t find the link. Thanks!! Karen
Hi Karen,
I am actually working on those right now. I will try to upload what I have this weekend.
Thanks for visiting. =)
Thanks so much – I really appreciate it! Please don’t worry with it if you don’t have time.
I just need not to be lazy and make them myself 🙂
Blessings for your weekend!
