This book is very easy to follow. Each chapter has a short story in the beginning that uses the list words for that chapter. It also has some dictionary work. What comes between X and X in the dictionary (in the back of the book). Toward the end it introduces cursive writing alongside of the printed word. Overall an easy to follow and easy to use book.

I'm homeschooling my 5 year old and we're using Workout B. I love the way it's laid out with the spelling rule at the top and plenty of ways to review the word list; group by spelling rule, crossword, alphabetize, finding the opposite. After she has completed the workout she thoroughly knows the words. We do one lesson per day if she gets the pre-test right. If she misses any we repeat it the next day. It also has a writing assignment for each list which is great. I will definitely continue with this series.

I am using this for my daughter (7, 2nd grade). Once we got used to the format, she was able to do most of the work independently (other than the pre- and post- tests). I cannot speak to the teacher's edition, because I don't have it, but we seem to have muddled through fine without it. We didn't use SW A, but we plan to continue with this series.

After purchasing another spelling program with way too much going on, I decided to give this book a try. I like that each lesson is relatively short. I like that it's just a simple approach to learning the rules of spelling. Some children may need to learn spelling in multi-sensory ways--this is not the book for them. But for a child who is able to learn by reading/writing, this book is a great choice.

I think this book is great, I use this one and the level A book as well. I also use additional spelling resources but this book can stand on its own. I have my oldest son write down the pep talks to help him remember the rules, I haven't found anything else on the market that comes close for me for homeschoolers.

As a homeschool Mom, I have never been happy with any of the spelling books I've used in the past. They were always too much. This book is just right -- the right words, the right amount of work, and the right content that holds my son's attention. I use "The Well Trained Mind" method and this works beautifully with it.

I found this book to be very helpful in that it is easy to
follow for student and parent. I used both the 1st and 2nd grade books. In our case, these were to be used as review tools this and the 1st grade speller accomplished that. Our daughters
needs were served but because she already knew the work, it did not challenge her, so in all honesty I cannot give a better assessment of this book.
