A Spelling Program for a full year. This program includes the teaching guide with a strategic plan for students to ONLY practice the words they don't know, and NO PREP! Worksheets.

Program includes:

  • 36 units organized by a sequence of spelling patterns based on sound structure, function, and meaning, as well as high-frequency vocabulary.

  • A 5-day teaching plan for each unit provides the skill focus, teaching tips, word list, introductory activities, skill exercises, independent practice, challenge words and review activities.

  • A wealth of remediation, enrichment, tracking, and assessment tools is also included, and all components of this program are designed for flexibility so that you can meet the diverse needs of your students within a minimum of preparation.

Blacklines:

  • The blackline masters support and extend the lessons in the program.

  • 36 carefully sequenced study units designed to increase student achievement in spelling.

  • Each unit focuses on specific spelling patterns, as well as high-frequency vocabulary appropriate for this grade level. High-frequency words are marked with an asterisk.

  • The independent word study exercises incorporate the multi sensory tasks identified as the most effective in current spelling research.
