English from the Roots Up is designed to give children a good grasp of Latin and Greek roots commonly used in English words. A study in Greek and Latin roots is recommended even if a child is beginning his Latin and / or Greek language study in the grammar stage. 100 Latin and Greek roots are systematically presented, with excellent drill instructions, lists of many common English derivative words to help students remember the meaning, and teaching notes for each root. The appendix gives great help in teaching Roman numerals, and games for drill.
