5.0 out of 5 stars This spelling program is great!, April 25, 2008
This review is from: Spelling Power, Fourth Edition (Paperback)
I have been using Spelling Power with my 11 year old son (whom I homeschool) for about 3 months. The fact that it's a huge book shouldn't be intimidating. It contains lots of good info for the teacher as well as activities. The fact that it is crammed with so many spelling words means you won't have to buy another spelling book ever again, and you will be able to use it for all your children/students.

The best thing about this book is that the student studies only the words he or she has missed. For the words that are misspelled, there is a "routine" that is followed in order to help the student remember to spell the word correctly. Those misspelled words are then added to the new round of words to be spelled the next day. The only time a word is carried over to subsequent days is if the student has misspelled the word.

There are reviews as well as tests. There are also tests to help determine where in the book your child/student should begin. It takes us a total of about 6--7 minutes to get through the day's words, then it takes my son about one minute per misspelled word to go through "the routine" to learn the word. (The "routine" to help remember how to spell words consists of visualizing the word, closing eyes and spelling, tracing the word with one's fingers (and a few other steps), writing the word twice more, then writing the words in the sentence. When my son goes through "the routine" he rarely misspells the word again. I can tell when he's not doing "the routine" because he will routinely miss the misspelled words again!

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally! A Spelling Program that Works!, February 8, 2008
This review is from: Spelling Power, Fourth Edition (Paperback)
I've used four other Spelling programs for my son who is not a natural speller. I hesitated to get Spelling Power because I was intimidated by the size of the book and thought it must be hard to implement. It's not! It really does only take 15 minutes per day and we are seeing results; he's remembering how to spell words!! I use it for my younger child as well. There are very accurate placement tests you give your student, so you know where to start each child. I wish we would have found Spelling Power sooner!

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally!, September 29, 2008
This review is from: Spelling Power, Fourth Edition (Paperback)
Finally, I have a spelling program that I love and the children love! I've been homeschooling for 13 years and have 10 children. I've used 4 spelling programs in the past. If I had not been trying to be a good steward of the resources God has given me, I would probably have tried even more by now. When I buy a resource, but really cannot implement it adequately, the resource is not helpful. Spelling Power is different. We are able to accomplish much in a small amount of time. It is incremental integrating review of previous spelling words. There is immediate feedback to the student and parent, so that I don't have papers sitting on my desk for days to grade. I am able to place each child at the proper level, not just according to grade level. Spelling has become the favorite subject of my 9 and 10 year old sons. This one is a keeper!
