Spelling words are organized in 6 units by phonetic sound: ranging from individual sounds at the lower grades to diphthongs and blends in the higher grades. Students learn words through various activities such as alphabetizing; writing words in sentence context; correcting spelling and grammar mistakes; proofreading short passages; learning capitalization and punctuation rules; using a dictionary for reference, etc. Pages are enhanced with an appropriate amount of full-color drawings.
