Fantastic book with many ideas for helping students with word study

Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2013

Verified Purchase

This book was not a required textbook for any of my undergraduate or graduate degrees in education, but I found it to be a great resource for helping students improve their phonics and spelling. It is based on the concept that students learn words best through looking for and finding patterns in them. I work individually with students in grades K-6, and this book offers lots of information for helping them learn words and apply strategies for decoding words by recognizing patterns. The book provides many word sorts teachers can use and offers a wonderful appendix with spelling assessments, guidelines for spelling stages, and information on words and category classifications (long vowels, short vowels, digraphs, diphthongs, and tons of other categories). The website that accompanies the textbook was only mediocre and somewhat difficult to navigate as it wasn't too user-friendly. However, as far as the textbook itself, it is a great resource for teachers or those who specialize in teaching reading.

Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2014

Verified Purchase

I brought this book as a requirement for class and the more I read it the more in love with it I am becoming. This book is not only useful for accessing the skills of students and grouping them, it also provides blanks of the assessments, games and an online feature. (I must admit that I have not used the online feature and probably won't do so as I am a bit old fashioned when it comes to keeping records). As a fairly new teacher I must say that this book is God sent. I'm considering buying the other books within the series as well. Ps, if you love in PA this book is also a good resource to use for studying the PRE-K/4 PECT exam :)

Best Spelling Program Ever!

Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2013

Verified Purchase

I love this program. In all my years of teaching, this is the best spelling program I have every used. I love how it adapts to each child individually, has the words nneeded for each child every week, and you can watch the kids grow throughout the year. It can be as simple or as complex as you want it to be. My students have all progressed nicely in spelling the last two years because of this program. No more guess work. You know exactly which spelling features your kids need to learn next!The diagnostic tool is fantastic.

Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2017

Verified Purchase

This workbook has been immensely useful. I used the test sheet to test my students on spelling to see where they were at, and then I choose their spelling lists based on what they're on. For example, my fourth graders need to work on stressed syllables, so I would look at the stressed syllables chart and select words off there. I use this every other week when we have spelling tests! My kids tell me that they see our spelling words everywhere, so I am glad the lists are applicable to their daily lives!

The book is one of the best text books I have ever used. It was and is in great condition. The text explains most all one needs to learn during this phase of education. Things are explained well and easy to understand. As a matter-of-fact all the students in my class said they all liked it and were going to keep it after the semester is over so they can continue to learn from it.
I give it FIVE STARS

Kids like the online sorting games and is easy to use

Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2016

Verified Purchase

I purchased this for a college course but now use it all the time as a new teacher to assess my students weekly. Kids like the online sorting games and is easy to use. I am a special education teacher and teach using alternate curriculum with CCEE standards. I have seen improvement with my students who are labeled as CD. Not just for regular education!

Systemic way to learn spelling, would recommend

Reviewed in Canada on August 29, 2015

Verified Purchase

Learning /teaching spelling in a scientific and systemic way. English is my second language and I bought this book to teach my kindergartener how to spell. He is an early reader (reads at grade 4 level when he was in kindergarten), but had trouble with writing journals due to difficulties in spelling. I tested his level according to the instructions then do one exercise every 3 days (exercises requires a separate book of the same series but we downloaded from the internet). Helped him a lot and he is a more confident speller now.
