This spelling book provides a basis for developing a fun and exciting spelling curriculum in your classroom. Each list of words has been carefully selected to focus on a specific spelling element. The chosen word contain the sound and letter patterns that students at this grade level encounter in their reading and writing.

Besides the word list and activity on each worksheet, students are encouraged to make a list of words that they would like to learn to spell. These individual lists might include additional words that address the spelling pattern or element under study.

Each lesson also suggests a writing activity that complements the page and is intended to encourage student writing. Extensions pages provide reviews and exercises that require the student to build more words based on the spelling patterns of the previous lessons.
