Description
In the 4-6 grade books, spelling rules are taught. The rules are classified into two groups. The first group pertains to syllabication and vowel sounds. The second group deals with the addition of suffixes. After all the rules are taught, spelling is integrated with other subjects. Grade 4, 5 and 6 cover these 5 rules: doubling final consonants or not, dropping final e or not, i before e except after c, changing a final y to an i, and –ness vs. –ly. It also has homophones, weekly word lists/tests, and alphabetizing.
Publisher's Description of Grammar of Spelling Grade 6 3rd Edition
Many spelling programs overwhelm kids with a lot of spelling rules, which only pile up as the year goes on. This program, developed by veteran Logos teachers B.J. Loyd and Matt Whitling, teaches students how to hear blends, clusters, and vowel sounds and introduces 5 important rules which are reviewed throughout the books. The lists are cumulative, which allows students to review words throughout the year, and each lesson features dictation sentences that allow even more practice.
Too many spelling textbooks are reading-spelling programs that make you memorize fifty or more phoneme/grapheme relationships in isolation. Instead, Grammar of Spelling is a program that teaches the most important spelling rules based on useful spelling lists and simple, effective exercises. Its strengths are in its cumulative spelling lists and dictation sentences. When a young student learns to hear each part of a basic root word, spelling becomes a simple matter of using the building blocks of reading and phonics.
Each lesson has the students write the list four times. Students repeat the words, put the words in alphabetical order, write the words from memory, and write them in cursive.
This all-new edition of Grammar of Spelling has the following all-new features:
- brand-new formatting
- lesson instructions for the teacher, with tips on how to teach the rule or sound pattern
- 2 dictation sentences for every lesson
- 5 extra words taken from the Logos Press homeschool bundle curriculum
- point assignments for every dictation sentence and for all the tests
Category Description for Grammar Of Spelling
The title here simply means that the presentation is consistent with the grammar stage of learning in the Classical education model. Maximizing the desire of children to acquire new skills, the black and white, consumable workbooks in Grades 2-3 teach them how to integrate phonics rules into the spelling process through hearing and dictation. Sight words and homophones are also included. The workbooks are a compilation of worksheet exercises that emphasize a specific grouping of words that need to be alphabetized and written in print or cursive. In Grades 4-6, more advanced general spelling rules are emphasized, as well as material covering prefixes, suffixes, and homophones. Lessons introduce 5 important rules which are reviewed throughout the book. Word lists are cumulative, with words reviewed throughout the year. Lessons are designed to take about 30 minutes a day. Monday through Wednesday students work on dictation exercises and worksheets, and then complete testing from their weekly word list on Thursday and Friday. Student Workbooks are self-contained and include student worksheets, teaching instructions, weekly lesson plan, a master list of spelling words and more.
