Thanks for your input! DD seemed to do better with the higher lists (yes I've become a bit of an expert after reading about it so much online these past few weeks!). She actually missed a couple of the words after practicing a couple days, which I saw as a good sign that she's finally being challenged. I think I will try working in some more meaningful work based on the roots and using in sentences, etc. For now we're going to keep testing the words the teacher assigns and doing the higher lists for practice, and testing Fridays. In a couple weeks if its going well I'll ask the teacher if we can just do the advanced lists. I'll even print them all up for her so all she's have to do is hand the right list to DD on Monday. I know she teaches the groups quickly about the patterns but it's fairly obvious at the higher level (just roots) and I can go over it with DD that night. I'm feeling much better about this!
