Based on two fundamental premises of developing excellent spelling skills, this worktext series incorporates spelling/phonics rules but likewise utilizes exercises that employ word writing repetition. Book 5 is more than a spelling book; it's a mini encyclopedia of spelling.
Building Spelling Skills 5 Worktext 2ED
Description
This workbook departs from the the use of phonics rules and presents spelling words in groups according to various domains of knowledge. Domains include (but are not limited to) world and U.S. geography, astronomy, anatomy, health, law, economics, music, buildings, and animals. Word-bank, crossword, fill-in-the-blank, and other exercises are used to provide variety and help students with retention.
Test sheets are included at the back of the book. With 36 units and 5 lessons per unit, the text is designed to be used daily over a 36 week period.
Based on two fundamental premises, the Building Spelling Skills consumable worktext series incorporates both spelling/phonics rules as well as exercises that employ word writing techniques. The English language has many spelling irregularities, so developing skill in recognizing the arrangement of letters and/or syllables in selected list words is addressed in this series by various word games and puzzles.
Each 128-page workbook contains 36 weekly lessons that feature a listing of 20 words that have a common theme or focus. In grades 1-3, the spelling lessons often center around phonetic word patterns, while the lessons in grades 4-8 commonly emphasize vocabulary development and etymology. Lesson activities at each level are varied, but include writing/identifying list words in sentences, reinforcing phonics rules, supplying word endings or beginnings, writing list words, alphabetizing, studying word roots, and taking pre- and post-tests. Students have plenty of room to write answers, and the books include attractive graphics and accent color.
