This book fills in the gaps that are created with most basal "phonics" instruction. This makes the "generalizations" of spelling very clear, and will provide teachers with explantions for why words don't fit a pattern. Usually, our "exceptions" fit an entirely different spelling generalization. I have found this to be an invaluable resource for word study, and I have learned just as much as my students. FINALLY, I am able to explain "why" words do or don't follow a pattern.
This book is one of the essential building blocks in our multisensory program of teaching. We use it in grades one through six.
Great for teaching spelling (which seems like a no-brainer, but some books are better than others). This lays out the spelling rules and gives good examples, and the progression makes sense. The accompanying workbook has a clean design, simply the spelling exercises without any distracting pictures or designs. I am glad I bought it.
This is such n amazing guide for all teachers of spelling. I loved it so much that I bought it for 3 other teachers at my school.
