Better Spelling in 5 Minutes a Day
I have some grown children that still struggle with spelling, even after years of devoted effort on my part in homeschool. How can that happen? Some people spell correctly with ease. They almost seem to be born with the gift. Others can't seem to make rhyme or reason of spelling at all, and even spell the same word incorrectly in different ways in the very same paragraph! This book brings relief for those who need some spelling help by dividing spelling problems into easy units. Each unit explains (to the parent) the spelling rule, and then addresses the student with fun tricks to help remember commonly misspelled words, practice with word scrambles, puzzles, games and other activities. An answer key is in the back of the book so you can check your answers as you go. Includes the 700 most frequently used words list, 120 elementary spelling word toughies, commonly confused words and "outlaw" words that don't follow rules. I give my children a lesson just once a week in my homeschool, deriving spelling lists from the unit, and it is helping greatly! For those natural spellers, this book isn't necessary, but if you have a child who can't make sense of spelling, I'm certain this book will improve spelling remarkably! Paperback, 136 pages. For ages 11 to adult. |
