About this ebook series

Morph Explorers – Gate-Key Chronicles

Unlock the power of Greek and Latin roots through fast-paced, sci-fi adventures designed to engage kids in the way they actually learn.

Created by a literacy therapist and grounded in the Science of Reading, this structured literacy series builds morphological awareness—a key to vocabulary and comprehension—through worksheet-free stories that kids want to read.

Each book follows three teen explorers as they tackle crises in Morph Zones, which are fictional dimensions that mirror real-world systems. Readers uncover 7–8 root words woven seamlessly into dialogue, action, and richly illustrated scenes. No drills. No flashcards. Just action, decoding, and discovery. 

Every mission ends with a glowing Gate Key—a symbol of success that celebrates the roots readers have mastered. It also links to printable games, discussion prompts, and fun ways to track progress at school or home.
