Building Spelling Skills 2 Worktext 2ED
Weekly lists of twenty words are covered in a series of daily lessons. Books 1 & 2 are primarily concerned with phonetic concepts and simple prefixes and suffixes.
This course features a review of phonics and spelling patterns from Building Spelling Skills: Book 1, and then goes on to explore a variety of consonant combinations, blends, digraphs, the spelling of certain peculiar phonetic sounds, and larger word parts. It ends with spelling words incorporated into reading selections. Word list exercises, choose the best answer, fill in the blank, list writing practice, sentence practice, categorization and other type questions help with reinforcement and retention of spelling words and principles.
Test sheets are included at the back of the book. With 36 units and 5 lessons per unit, the text is designed to be used daily over a 36 week period.
Based on two fundamental premises, the Building Spelling Skills consumable worktext series incorporates both spelling/phonics rules as well as exercises that employ word writing techniques. The English language has many spelling irregularities, so developing skill in recognizing the arrangement of letters and/or syllables in selected list words is addressed in this series by various word games and puzzles.
Each 128-page workbook contains 36 weekly lessons that feature a listing of 20 words that have a common theme or focus. In grades 1-3, the spelling lessons often center around phonetic word patterns, while the lessons in grades 4-8 commonly emphasize vocabulary development and etymology. Lesson activities at each level are varied, but include writing/identifying list words in sentences, reinforcing phonics rules, supplying word endings or beginnings, writing list words, alphabetizing, studying word roots, and taking pre- and post-tests. Students have plenty of room to write answers, and the books include attractive graphics and accent color.

This is a straight forward spelling program. The students can work through this on their own for the most part. But I will say my kids are good spellers so far.
This is a solid spelling book with good practice exercises. Each spelling list is themed which helps a student see the phonics and spelling patterns.
