What Others Are Saying…

Public review of Vocabulary Building with Latin and Greek Roots and Affixes, Level 1 on Outschool:
This was a great class and my son learned a lot. I like how they are eased into it with words they know and can see the correlation to other words with those roots. I think any child would benefit. Rating 5/5

Review of Vocabulary Building with Latin and Greek Roots and Affixes, Level 4 on Outschool:

My son took three Latin and Greek Roots and Affixes classes and enjoyed them all. He liked that the class was flexible, the teacher followed the lead of the students, and making slides each week. He felt that it was easy to participate in discussions and was never stressed about homework, even though there was an assignment each week. – Rating 5/5

[My daughter] is so thrilled about this class! She has turned into a voracious reader and she loves to write (and read) poetry. Your reading instruction was really helpful and absolutely catapulted her into the readersphere.

Karen M. Wieland, Ph.D. has given my daughter the skills and confidence to look at a unknown word and decode it without the anxiety that she used to deal with when reading. I’ve seen that confidence spill over into her writing and spelling as well. These classes have been wonderful for her. Thank you, Dr. Wieland!

JessOutschool parent

Dr. Wieland is great! She makes class fun and sends material for kids to keep practicing. My son enjoyed the class and was encouraged to speak Latin and not just learn what the words mean. Rating 5/5

Public review of Vocabulary Building with Latin and Greek Roots and Affixes, Level 1 on Outschool: 

Our son is 10 and enjoyed learning about the building blocks Greek & Latin roots into words he uses as well as understanding how to explore the meaning of new words; we could see the wheels turning in his head during the class. He took chances on words that were similar to what they were learning but did not have the same meaning and Dr. Karen provided wonderful redirection and made the cla… Read more
