Spelling lessons based on phonics which many teachers feel is the most effective way for children to learn to spell. Each lesson contains a list of eight words. Instructions for three spelling games and a section of large print words that can be made into flash cards. Lessons are suitable for students of average ability in mid to late grade one and students in grade two who need help in consolidating basic spelling skills.

Sixteen lessons focus on:

• rhyming activities
• word and picture matching
• word and sentence illustration
• word shapes
• missing letters
• opposites
• filling in the blanks
• puzzles
• other activities to reinforce the list words featured in each lesson

Below is a suggested study schedule.

Day I -Complete the first page of the lesson.

Day 2-Complete half of the second page of the lesson.

Day 3-Complete the rest of the second page.

Day 4-Play spelling games using the list words.

Day 5-Give a spelling dictation. Ask your child to make corrections to misspelled words.

The time spent on written exercises should be short (no longer than 15 or 20 minutes). If your child is tired, postpone the lesson or do fewer questions.

Each lesson in this book contains a list of eight words. The words from each lesson are printed in large format at the back of the book for your convenience. These words can be cut out and glued onto thin cardboard, construction paper or other similar material to make flash cards. The flash cards for each lesson may be stored in separate envelopes or held together with elastic bands. Since games are an interesting and useful way of reinforcing spelling vocabulary, the instructions for three spelling games that your child might enjoy playing, are listed below.
