GREAT SPELLING STARTER WORKBOOK

USING THIS WORKBOOK AS A FIRST SPELLING WORKBOOK FOR HOMESCHOOLING AS RECOMMENDED BY THE WELL TRAINED MIND FOR USE AFTER COMPLETING PHONICS PROGRAM. THE VOCABULARY WORDS ARE GOOD, BUT SOME OF THE DIRECTIONS AND EXERCISES USE HIGHER LEVEL READING WORDS. IT'S NOT AN INDEPENDENT STUDY BOOK FOR BEGINNING READERS.

Spelling Workout A

I really like this series because each skill builds on the previous skill giving your child the foundation they need to not only know how to spell well but also read well. The lay out of each lesson is easy to understand and focuses on only one area of spelling basing all work on phonics. My first child is nearly done with this series, but my second child has just begun. She is really thriving with it. I plan to use this same series for all my children.

spelling workout, level A

We love Spelling Workout. My 6 year old is a proficient reader and has used a phonics based reading program. This workbook makes her slow down and think about how the words are spelled and we also use our "best handwriting". She spells words exactly how they sound which is cute for family but usually not the correct spelling. I find this workbook the right amount of practice with 3-4 letter words to build a solid foundation for further writing.

Spelling Workout Level A

I homeschool my son who just turned 6 in September. He would have started K this year in public school, but we are working on a first grade level. We use this for our spelling book. It works closely with our reading lessons. My son enjoys it and is enthusiastic about the lessons. We usually do two pages a day, take one day to write his own sentences using the spelling words and then a 'test' on Friday. We even do a four unit review test. It has improved his reading and he is more apt to write sentences now. We will continue with this series.

exactly what we needed!

I learned about this workbook from several homeschooling sources and decided to give it a try. I do not home school but was looking for an enrichment/bridging activity to complete with my 6 yr. old son over the summer. This workbook is designed for the child in 1st grade and while we have not completed the book yet I am very pleased. The lessons only take about 15 minutes to complete and cover the same topics my son's teachers have been covering in school. There are 36 lessons in the workbook (perfect for doing over the summer.) The topics range from letters, beginning sounds, ending sounds, short/long vowels, blends, and digraphs. There are several reviews throughout the book to test your knowledge of previous lessons. I found this workbook correlates perfectly with the material currently being taught at our public elementary school. I highly recommend this for anyone wanting extra practice or to prepare for entering 1st grade!
