When I was teaching, I always gave my students two weeks. I do the same for my kids. I think two weeks gives them time to actually learn and own the words.
Thank you for the flip through I was patiently waiting for you to post this one. I love Wordly Wise but the kids hate it (mostly the reading comprehension sesction). We tried 180 days of spelling and word study they didn't like that one either. Word Roots was next on my list since we are going to do Reading Detective. I agree the word list has too many words and no relationship. I was doing 1 lesson a day but realized quickly it was too much. 2 weeks is a better schedule for sure.
I have come across it online, but not in person. There is also English From the Root Up. I am hoping someone will do a three way comparison. Also, it appears Word Roots only contain Latin Roots (based on what was shown in this video). Can someone confirm whether Greek Roots are included?? I know that they are included in English from the Root Up.
Hi. This is a very helpful review and comparison. Thank you! One question: how do you ensure that your daughter uses the words she learnt in her daily life? That has been my biggest struggle. My daughter learns the words, does the exercises and then never really uses them while talking or in her writing
Good question! Each day have her pick a few of the words and use them throughout the day in everyday conversation of possible. That will cover her for the week. Also, when doing writing assignments encourage the use of those words. It does take a lot of reminding but they get used often enough to be committed to their memory. Keep the words in a common place like the white board, kitchen fridge, bedroom, anywhere they will be reminded to use them. 😀
Wordly Wise days will take anywhere from 10-25 minutes. The longer time would be for the reading comp passage at the end of each lesson. Word Roots usually takes my daughter about 15 minutes a day except when she has the review every 2 lessons. That one takes about 30 minutes.
@@LifeofTillmans @LifeofTillmans Thanks! So is it fair to say 1 lesson of either of these takes somewhere in the ballpark of 60-90 minutes of times total?
Sorry to hear that. RUclips has it’s way of adding those in. There is always an option to skip some of them. It is usually located at the bottom right of the video playing. Thanks for watching what you were able to view. 🙂

Definitely agree with you.
so happy I found this, I just watched some of your others and asked you to do a comparison and this is what I needed, thank you.
Yw, I’m glad it was helpful!
I'm so glad i found this video! Alternating is such a great idea!
I’m glad it was helpful! ❤️
I love it when you give the pros and cons of a curriculum!
Thx Jen!!
I appreciate you getting straight to it. Very informative
Yw! Thanks for watching. 😄
Thank you so much! This was exactly the comparison I was looking for!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for the flip through. Also for sharing your pros and cons.
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching!
I used Wordy Wise when I homeschooled my daughter years ago. Now she uses words in conversations that I didn’t know. 😬
😂 I LOVE it!
Thanks so much for this comparison!
You’re welcome 😀

So glad it was helpful! We love the Critical Thinking Company books!
Awesome review hmmm I like both of them.
Thanks! So do I, for very different reasons.
Great video! Wondering if you’ve come across Vocabulary from Classical Roots and if so, what you felt or thought about it.
Thanks! No, I haven’t heard of or used that one. I’ll have to check it out. 😀 Thank you for sharing!

Lol...my mother loves crossword puzzles also.
My grandmother loved crossword puzzles also. She is no longer with us. I enjoy crossword puzzles because of her.
🤣 upside They will forever be connected to her because of them.
Apologies if i missed this, how long does a lesson take in a typical day from each?
Wordly Wise days will take anywhere from 10-25 minutes. The longer time would be for the reading comp passage at the end of each lesson.
Word Roots usually takes my daughter about 15 minutes a day except when she has the review every 2 lessons. That one takes about 30 minutes.

@@SuperMrgentleman yes it they do the entire in one sitting. That’s a good estimate.
Too many commercials. I didn’t finish watching 😢 but great info!
