Here is another wonderful resource for frugal homeschoolers. This book teaches how to teach spelling, teaches children how to study spelling words, has suggestions for advanced and struggling spellers, and has lists all the way from 1st to 8th grades, with Greek, Latin, and French roots included. It is a great, affordable, easy to use resource. I think this will get more and more popular as homeschoolers spread the word.
...page after page of word lists; instructions basically are to practice writing and spelling the words until they are learned...I see NOTHING "natural" about the method...great ONLY if you want the child bored and miserable while learning to spell...however, many more useful, interesting and fun alternatives exist...recommend Steck-Vaughn's "Spelling -- Linking Words to Meaning" as well as the "Word Wisdom" series from Zane-Blosser.
This product is easy to use, understand, and incorporate into a learning at home lifestyle. The word lists are sensible and reasonable. Many different grade levels can be taught useing the one book. I love it.
I've had trouble with the homeschool spelling programs offered in the past. This has been an answer to my prayers. The Natural Speller outlines how lessons should be done each day. It has word lists for all levels at a glance. This is a great feature for a mom schooling 4 kids. It has been a tremendous help to me as a teacher. A lot less frustrating than other programs I've used.
This book has great spelling lists, grouped by grade, along with spelling rules to be learned at different stages. It covers 1st-12th grade spelling in one book and in non-consumable - so it is a great buy! SIMILAR ITEMS:
