I wouldn't recommend the Vocabulary from Classical Roots series.
The roots are selected thematically, and I found that many of them
were not very practical. A better use of your time would be to
find a book that employs highly useful roots (ones that the kids
will see frequently in their reading). You can always consult SAT
vocab lists to find frequently recurring roots.
