15 Minutes A Day And This Book Are All You Need To TEach Ages 5 To Adult Comprehensive Spelling Skills.

Complete With Lists Of The 5,000 Most Frequently Used Words Organized By Phonetic Principles And Spelling Rules
  olsonsquiverfull | Mar 22, 2007 |
I normally wouldn't include a textbook on my reading list, but this one has such a long "teacher's guide" that I thought I'd make an exception. "Speling Power" is literally the only spelling text book that you'll ever need. It is a program that tries to incorporate all the latest research on how kids learn to spell. It starts out by testing the student on the word list, so that they can avoid studying words they already know. Then it uses five minutes (daily) of focused studying and five minutes of spelling activities to teach the unkown words. Is this too good to be true? Well, it's been working for my kid. Ask me in a few years if it can work in the long run. The word list looks comprehensive, though, and the concepts seem sound. As far as the readability of this text, it is a textbook. But it was interesting to read through the history and rationale of the program. Since it's a great resource, I'm putting it on my shelf.
