Title: Spelling WorksAuthor: Jim HalversonGraphic Artist: Jack RyanPublisher: Better Karma PublishingISBN: 978-0984775347"The first task of English teachers is to make writing enjoyable and fulfilling, not drudgery, for if the students think about writing in a positive way, then they will want to become better spellers," Jim Halverson states in his book, "Spelling Works - New and Improved Lessons and Mazes to Help Students Master Spelling Rules and Spot Their Own Errors."This over-sized paperback book is one hundred and seventeen pages. With the author having taught in private school for over thirty years, the book is targeted toward children in grade five and above but can be a good teaching tool for those new to the complicated English language. Artist Jack Ryan does sophomoric yet sometimes humorous drawings that enhance the reading.In the age of electronics, most children do not have a love for orthography or syllabification so teachers and parents need any creative tools to aide them in the process. In Halverson's book, there are twelve units that discuss and dissect spelling nuances with a thirteen page answer guide at the end.After a short introduction, each unit has a "for the teacher" section first with an overview and teaching notes. Each unit starts with an explanation of the spelling rule, practices, hints, tips, and then a fun challenge or maze related to the spelling issue, sometimes including an illustration or a "did you know that" sidebar.The twelve rules covered pertain to syllable division, root words, doubling one-syllable words, the final silent "e" and "y," the "i" before "e," apostrophes in contractions, plurals and singular possessives, homophones, endings and stress accenting.
