Building Spelling Skills 6 Worktext 2ED
Weekly lists of twenty words are covered in a series of daily lessons. Book 6 is an examination of the great diversity and variety in spelling the rich sounds of the English language.
Students who complete this workbook will be better prepared to spell words that have difficult sounds or endings. This book also provides instruction in key suffixes and English, Latin, and Greek prefixes. Later units teach students how to discriminate between synonyms and how to change accents. Vocabulary-building is emphasized through contextual exercises as well as a lesson dealing with word meanings. Word-bank, crossword, fill-in-the-blank, and other exercises are included to help students gain familiarity with how words and sentences are constructed.
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.
