Building Spelling Skills 4 Answer Key 2ED

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.
