Category Description for BJU Press Spelling Grade 1 (4th Edition)
Minor textual changes and updated images have been added to the new fourth edition. The scope and sequence has not changed; therefore, it is compatible with the previous edition. Students learn a list of ten words weekly in this spelling program. The list incorporates different phonetic word families and one memory word. A word study approach is used to learn these high-frequency words by using phonetic rules and words in context of meaning. Word study allows students to learn to spell pattern-by-pattern rather than just memorizing words. Each of the thirty lessons implements a five-day-a-week program with interactive lessons between the parent and child. BJU Phonics & English 1, 5th Edition correlates with this program; however, this program can also be used solitarily. Concepts taught include short and long vowel patterns; r-influenced vowel patterns; diphthongs; consonants; consonant blends and digraphs; soft c; suffixes s, es, ed, er, est, ing; and suffix rules such as no change to base word, double the final consonant, drop the final e. The homeschool kit includes the Teacher Edition and Student Worktext.
The Teacher Edition guides the instruction of spelling and the application of the worktext. A reduced copy of the student pages is included with answers in red. Each day includes organized instruction: Day 1 is a pretest; Day 2 is word study activities; Day 3 is a practice test and dictation; Day 4 is a Bible truth activity and dictionary skills; Day 5 is a Final Test with dictation. The previous edition included a CD with additional resources. The CD has been removed and the resources are now in the back of the teacher edition, including test forms, activity and game ideas, additional writing activities, differentiated instruction, and more.
The Student Worktext is colorful and engaging with varied activities to reinforce spelling words. Some activities include word study, word sorts, proofreading, and dictionary skills. Every week, students complete an activity page on days 2 and 4. ~ Gina
