Homeschooling Community Votes for Critical Thinking

Monterey, CA, September 03, 2009 --(PR.com)-- The Critical Thinking Co.™, award-winning publisher of educational books and software for all ages, is proud to announce that Word Roots was the second place winner in the Vocabulary category of the 2009 Practical Homeschooling Reader Awards and Editor In Chief ® received an honorable mention in the Grammar category. The winners are products that receive the highest ratings from hundreds of seasoned users.

Word Roots series teaches children, in Grades 3 through 12, the meaning of Latin and Greek prefixes, roots, and suffixes commonly used in English. Learning word elements dramatically improves spelling and the ability to decode unfamiliar words.

Also spanning Grades 3-12, the Editor in Chief ® series improves grammar, punctuation, spelling, capitalization, and attention to detail using a standards-based thinking approach rather than drill and practice. This series teaches children to carefully analyze and edit stories that contain errors in writing mechanics and story details. Both series are available in either book or software format.

Practical Homeschooling is a national publication that provides over 100,000 homeschool parents with articles, reviews, advice, contests, and more.
