After reading about this program on many teacher blogs this year, my CA teachers and I decided to purchase your product. We can't wait to use it next year! I love how students can pace themselves, and also how they earn beads for finding or using these words.
Well done!

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:
Nicole Heimer (TpT Seller) re: Greek & Latin Roots-prefix & suffix-Common Core Aligned Vocabulary -Olympians
I have paid for and downloaded this resource! How creative! I taught roots in my fifth grade class last year, but we focused on one root per week with 10 words per root that the kids had to learn. I think this program is much more well-rounded and the students will have fun searching for words containing their current roots! I do want to let you know about something little that I came across on page 32 and 35-37... the blue box around the perimeter of the page on page 32 actually cuts off part of the text box at the bottom (for roots mis- and -ness) On pages 35-37, it lies right on top of the bottom of the text boxes at the bottom of the page.

lamorrison283 re: Greek & Latin Root Prefix & Suffix Primary Common Core Vocabulary Program
Hi! As this year is ending, I am gearing up for next year already! I came across the Reading Olympians and can't wait to implement this next year. I intend on starting at the lowest level and going all the way through the programs. For the journal, I would like to make it 2 to a page in a booklet form. Is there an editable form(where only the whole page to be sized not necessarily to edit the content) that I can do this on the computer. If not, I can do this on the copier at the school. Thank you for all the hard work and thought that has gone into these set! It has got me excited and I know it will excite my students as well!

Yes. They are custom made for the program. I hope it works out for you. If we can do anything to help give a shout:)

tomrsj re: Greek & Latin Root Prefix & Suffix Primary Common Core Vocabulary Program
Hi! I remember learning about roots in school and still use that knowledge today. I would love to use your program with my current class, but am confused as to which product(s) to buy. I am teaching a K/1 combination. My kinders are typical kinders, but my first graders are advanced in their reading. Which program would most suit my firsties? The first grade program, the Junior Olympians program, or another one? (The kinder program would probably be perfect for my kinders.)

Thank you for your interest! We would suggest the Reading Olympian program. It is the first in the intermediate group of programs and teaches 100 total root. The following programs (Warriors and Trojans) each review 50 from the Olympian program and introduce 50 new. Reading Olympians is founded on the most common roots which provides a fantastic foundation for those new to root instruction:) PLEASE email us if you have additional questions.

chargermouse re: Greek & Latin Roots-prefix & suffix-Common Core Aligned Vocabulary -Olympians
I love this resource! I am so excited to use it, however, just before I started printing I noticed that many of the top 'cards'... where the word is - the words are running into or out of the top of the box. Is there any way these can be fixed? Or I could fix them for myself if I had an editable copy.
Thank you for your time.
Thank you for your time.

I just bought jr. olympians. I was looking at the story of greek roots and noticed that you have fiction=not true, real and nonfiction=pretend. Could I get a corrected version with the appropriate definitions? Also, do you have "answer keys" or completed graphic organizers like the intermediate version? I had looked at the free Nike and liked the examples for the students to use to complete their graphic organizers and expected them in this unit also. Thanks so much for your help! -Melissa

Chanty2004 re: Greek & Latin Roots-prefix & suffix-Common Core Aligned Vocabulary -Olympians
I have one question. What is the expectation for the word study cards? Are they supposed to be put somewhere? How is this incorporated?
March 28, 2013
The Reading Olympians (TpT Seller)
We use the bigger word cards for our word wall. Students illustrate a picture related to the root. We leave all the roots up on our wall so students can refer to them all the time, and they really do all the time! The smaller word cards are used for flash cards. We put ours on a ring so they can look through them as the progress. Let us know if you have any other questions!!! :)

I'm so excited to begin this with my 6th graders! However, my set doesn't seem to have the assessments with it. Are there assessments for each unit?
March 25, 2013
The Reading Olympians (TpT Seller)
All the assessments should be right with each individual set. It is a matching quiz with finding the root with the correct meaning.

I've been using The Reading Olympians with my 4th and 5th graders and we all LOVE it! I've been looking forward and wanting to prepare future sets of roots for my students and I want give them professional documents without errors. These are the things I am seeing on my download:
Poseidon:
- Raps: mis and ness raps print below the page border
- bene and dis root boxes print below the page border
- est root boxes print on top of page border
Athena:
- in root boxes print below page border
Nemesis:
- mono rap should say "Mono means one" and it says "Mono means on"
Iris:
- Biblio root rap says if you want to read about someone, read a bibliography. Shouldn't that be a biography?
- graph rap should say "Graph means write" and it says "Graph mean write"
- On the fill in the word assessment none of the answers fit for #9. We study _____ in Social Studies. The only answer left is macro.
Apollo:
- The rap for meter should say use instead of us in the last line.
- I don't think there should be a - after means to on the -ous rap.
Hercules:
- On the fill in the word assessment, #10, I think it should read The children ate too much sugar and were all ______, not we all ______.
Olympian:
- The para rap should say side by side and not sided.
- Did you mean to repeat the word silly on the rid rap?
- On the fill in the word assessment shouldn't the answer choice for #10 be anthropologist and not anthropology?
Thank you for your help!

rieffs1 re: Greek and Latin Root/Prefix & Suffix Common Core Chocolate Activity-Vocabulary
I am a homeschooler and would love to implement this great idea into our curriculum. I have an 8 1/2 y/o boy and an advanced almost 6 y/o daughter. They are always skeptical when I introduce anything different and "fun"! Rightly so, b/c then I usually lose my confidence and blow 'it' anyway. So before I buy these, my question is do you have any videos, maybe on Youtube or something showing this actually being presented???? I really hope so! Please let me know ASAP possible, please! Thank you soooooo much for the wonderful idea...I just hope I can figure out how to implement it with my 2 children AND have them catch on to the idea that it's actually fun!
Sincerely,
Susan

In the Common Core Story of Roots- On Page 10- it has the definition of nonfiction as pretend, I know the double negative of not, not true is not the best way to put it, but fiction is pretend and nonfiction is real, also did you realize review is on there twice?

I teach Gifted Students grades 3-6. Would you recommend just starting with the Warriors and moving up to Trojans in 5/6th grade Since Warriors reviews half of Olympians?
January 28, 2013
The Reading Olympians (TpT Seller)
We have found, even with our gifted students, it is best to start with Olympians. Those are the most common roots and provide a fantastic foundation for the next sets. The review was beneficial to them as they progressed through the upper programs. Our gifted kiddos LOVE root instruction. It provides an amazing depth to the language which fascinates them:)
January 28, 2013

I started using your olympian program and have a question. Some of the words have a dash before the word meaning a suffix or a dash after meaning a prefix. What is the word does not have a dash before or after the word?
Thanks
Thanks
January 10, 2013
The Reading Olympians (TpT Seller)
If there is no dash it is just a base word. For example the root "mot" is considered a base word. Let us know if you have any other questions.

The reading Olympians is the first set in the program. It includes 100 of the most common roots. The reading warriors includes 50 review roots from Olympians and 50 new roots. I would suggest the Olympians to begin your root study. Once you work your way through that program you can always continue with warriors. If you have additional questions please feel free to email us at twingirlsceej@aol.com. Thanks for your interest:).

bevnye re: Christmas FIgurative Language Activity and Christmas Cards
Hi Julie and Krista. Thanks for this lesson. Do either of you, by the way, have an answer key showing how all types of figurative language are found in some popular carols? "The Grinch" is great for metaphors, and I love that. How about some exact examples (lines of lyrics) of other types of fig. language, excluding simile and metaphor? That would sure help me because I am very lazy and very busy this upcoming week. Thanks so much. Bev Nye

We did not create a teacher guide. We will add that to the activity next year!!! However, I completed this with students as a whole group activity and they had a no finding them together. I had a couple samples of each highlighted to start and they took over!!! There are numerous samples of figurative language in the songs I hope it works for you!!! If you have questions please email me at twingisceeej@aol.com.

I purchased the complete set of Olympians and I think it's going to be great. It has Poseidon misspelled on page 240. Can I get a fixed copy of that page?
Thanks!

This is probably my problem, but the Nike set in the entire program I bought did not download/open. (I'm blaming my school computer.) I just downloaded the free version that is also in your store. However, I wanted to say something just in case it's not just my issue. Thanks for a great program! I can't wait to start it in January! :)

First, thank you for putting together such a great program together. I've purchased and downloaded the Reading Olympians full program file earlier this week. I seem to have one minor issue with my purchase. It appears I'm missing some of the pages. It shows that the document should be 310 pages, but I only have 248. It's hard for me to pinpoint exactly what I'm missing. I'm not sure if you can upload again so that my purchases will give me the correct version or if you will be able to email me directly. Thank you for your help.

Thanks for your interest in Reading O:) AND thanks for bringing the page numbers to our attention. We reorganized the program to ease the download due to its large size. We will correct that number--you do have it all. Could you please email me at twingirlsceej@aol.com. We have something we would like to share.

There is an error on page 9. There is an incomplete sentence. Can you let me know what the instruction should be?

It should read individual or whole group meaning each student can complete a dictionary or create one as a class:) We are uploading an edited copy. Please let us know if you have more questions. Thanks for bringing that to our attention!! Enjoy!

What is the difference between the two reading programs? Olympians and warriors. I am a 5th grade teacher and don't know which to purchase.
Thanks

Olympians was the original program. It is a great introduction to root instruction. Warriors takes the first 50 roots from Olympians for mastery and then 50 new roots to learn. The graphic in Warriors are definitely more appealing to older students. However, I teach 5th grade and I implemented Olympians in the beginning of the year and my students loved those graphics as well! We are now starting Warriors and they love those too! Both program are great for root instruction! Let us know if you have any other questions. Thank you! :)

Could you send a template so we could make our own data form with the testing that our school uses? As an example we use MAP testing 3 times a year and F & P along with ACCESS for our ELL population. I know crazy.
Thanks

cveks re: Greek & Latin Roots-prefix & suffix-Common Core Aligned Vocabulary -Olympians
I have purchased the complete set of materials and am about ready to start using them with 4th-6th graders in reading classes but have a few questions. Where do the students look to find the information to add to their graphic organizers? (examples of words, etc.) Where is the parent letter you referenced in some of your sales material? The example of the word wall picture on your web materials (graph/draw) doesn't make sense to me. Why did they draw a school? Shouldn't they draw something with that root in it? Thanks for clarifying! Susan in MN

Thanks for you interest in the program:)
When we introduce each root we brainstorm words that contain that root. We have a list in our plans in case they struggle with coming up with them. Some are more challenging than others. They will get in a swing of it as they practice. Others that use the program have a student that guides small groups by having a list or using the computer as a resource. There are numerous sites that list roots. I will tell you that we are working on a teacher's resource guide that included words. We are adding additions as the program has gained in popularity. The parent letter should be there, we did reorganize the format of the file and if it is not---it should be! Please email me at twingirlsceej@aol.com and I will send it right to you and update the product on TPT. The word wall cards are may be my favorite part of the program. They drew a school to represent "graph" means to write or draw. When our kiddos illustrate a root they also present it to the class so we are all on the same page:)
PLEASE email us with any questions!! The program become totally embedded in all you do as your students see that roots are everywhere and in every content area. The only disadvantage is you will have root obsessed students:)

Becky Peters (TpT Seller) re: Greek & Latin Roots-prefix & suffix-Common Core Aligned Vocabulary -Olympians
I teach 7th grade Science, and our kids really struggle with vocabulary. Will your product be beneficial to my middle school kids?
October 12, 2012
The Reading Olympians (TpT Seller)
Thanks for your interest. Here's some details on the program --we hope it helps:)
The original program-Reading Olympians-is based on 100 Greek and Latin roots. These are not content based. We were amazed what it did for our kiddos and it became popular enough we decided to create Reading Warriors. Reading Warriors reviews 50 roots from the Olympian program and 50 new roots. These 50 are content based for science, math and social studies--heavy on science and math. Here's why I think it would be cool for your kids. Not only will it help them define their vocabulary words-but they will look at words completely differently. Here are 2 example: just today Julie was teaching a math lesson introducing fractions. When she told them they told her "fract" means to break apart and "tion" means process of. My experience was I told them to look at a different perspective and they realized "spect" means to see--so it is looking or seeing a different point of view. We have these moments multiple times a day as our student see words through the eyes of roots.
We are not super objective about root instruction...LOL. We deeply believe in root instruction and believe it can improve any content area. If you would like any more information please feel free to email us at twingirlsceej@aol.com.
If you feel you may want to give it a try please make certain to purchase Reading Warriors!!! Thanks:)

We have not had this problem with the program. It should not be a zip file it is in PDF format. If you cannot get it to download correctly please email us and we can email it to you. We will have to send you multiple emails since the file is so large but we will make it work:)

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
We are teaching partners and LOVE teaching reading. Together we have taught grades K,1,7,4, 5 and Title One Reading. This year we have worked together when teaching reading and have enjoyed creating and implementing The Reading Olympians. The results have been amazing and we are excited to share the materials and fun with other teachers!!
MY TEACHING STYLE
Hands on and individualized instruction! We work to teach the "whys" behind vocabulary and spelling. When students understand why a word means what it does, or is spelled the way it is, the instruction holds more meaning!
