Greek & Latin Roots Prefix & Suffix Vocabulary Program (Apollo Set 7)

Reading Olympians is now featuring 3AM Graphics in all programs! Thanks for your patience as we update all of our products.

This is one set that is included in the entire set of The Reading Olympians. This set teaches one set of 10 roots. This single set (as well as the entire program The Reading Olympians) can be downloaded one day and implemented the next and can be started any time of year!!! The Reading Olympians is a valuable resource for educators and home schoolers. The program is designed to teach the Greek and Latin roots in a fun and engaging way. 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!!

You will be AMAZED at what learning the roots will do for your students' vocabulary and they love learning them! Reading Olympians is easily implemented in your classroom any time of the school year. We would love to answer any questions you may have! We are currently working on updating our information to include 6th grade common core standards!

*Roots are learning objectives of the new Common Core Standards
*Learning one root is a gateway to a multitude of words
*Roots provide at risk readers with an increased meaningful vocabulary and higher readers with a deep understanding of the language
