Building Spelling Skills 1 Worktext 2ED
Description
This workbook develops a student's spelling ability by using phonics rules to form its word lists. These rules include: short and long vowel sounds, double consonants, special blends, digraphs "oo" and "or," diphthongs, word endings, prefixes, suffixes, and compound words. Word bank exercises, crosswords, fill-in-the-blank, writing practice, rhyming exercises, and other fun activities are used to provide variety while helping the student 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.
