Greek & Latin Roots-prefix & suffix-Common Core Aligned Vocabulary -Olympians

Here's what teachers are saying about Reading Olympians!

"The GREATEST thing I have ever found to teach Root Words! Honestly, this has done wonders in helping my kiddos understand, use and FIND prefixes, suffixes, and other root words! They LOVE that it is based on Greek Mythology (Thanks Percy Jackson!) and they are always eager to see who the next god or goddess is :) "

"I'm on year three of using this fantastic unit to teach Greek roots. Many TpT units come and go, but this one has become a staple. I believe in this one!"

"Wow! The total package for root word study! They definitely remember their roots after each unit!"

"This is a great comprehensive program for greek and latin roots! So easy to implement in my special education classroom! "

"What hasn't been said already in the comments? This resource has my grade 5 students mesmerized all the while expanding their vocabulary and spelling skills. More fool them! How can something so simple have become such a powerful tool in my program? I'm sold and so will you be!"

The Reading Olympians teaches 100 Greek roots (prefixes and suffixes) and contains over 300 pages of resources! Reading Olympians is a valuable resource for educators and home schoolers. The program breaks 100 roots into 10 sets and each group is named after a Greek figure. When a student masters a set, he/she becomes a member of that group-for example the Nike or Poseidon group. When they master all 10 sets the become an Olympian!! Roots are now in Common Core K-8! There are fun extensions of the program on our website as well as examples of Reading O in action in classrooms across the country!
