Description
Instructor Handbooks include an introduction that reviews the SYS philosophy, outlines the five developmental stages, and provides curriculum sequence and placement guidelines. The rest of the book contains the specifics for that particular level. These include a Getting Started section, Lesson-by-Lesson Instructions, a Weekly Activity Guide, and a Frequently Asked Questions section that addresses random issues that may arise.
An Answer Key for each level is included in the back of the Instructor's Handbook. These answer keys are full-color and show the highlighting and underlining (in appropriate colors) that the student is being asked to do (which also simplifies the grading process). Each level has an online page with links to additional materials and resources. The website and an access code are included with each Instructor Handbook.
Publisher's Description of Spelling You See Level A: Listen and Write Instructor's Handbook
The Listen and Write Instructor's Handbook contains an introduction to the philosophy behind Spelling You See and the five development stages of spelling. The Handbook also contains a "Getting Started" guide with an overview of the organization of the 36 lessons and information about the important skills and concepts that will be learned in this level. At the back of the Handbook there is more information about dictation, answers to frequently asked questions, and a collection of helpful resources including the Daily Dictation and General Dictation Lists.
Your child is beginning to experience the printed page and needs your help to develop concepts of how spelling works and how letters are formed and put together to make words. Listen and Write is a fun and natural way to ease your child into the world of English spelling. In this level your child will learn correct pencil grip, correct letter formation, consonants, and short vowels. Listen and Write will provide your child with the foundation they need to become confident, competent spellers.
Category Description for Spelling You See Level A
For the beginning reader who is learning letter names and sounds and how to hold a pencil properly. This level is designed as a transition from phonics/reading skills to writing skills. Without an overall understanding of the program, this level might seem more phonics than spelling and part of the emphasis is on beginning handwriting skills. Resources include a Daily Dictation List, a General Dictation List, a Glossary, and a Bibliography. Please note that this is no longer sold as a Universal Set, so you will need to purchase the package item SYSAST to get both the Instructor's Handbook and the Student Pack.

Why did you choose this?
We love spelling you see! It does not feel like spelling for the kids, just a game.
needed it for the student version which I already had
It was recommended.
I THOUGHT IT CAME AS A COMPLETE SET, BUT WHEN GOT THE STUDENT BOOK, I WAS A LITTLE UPSET THAT IT WASN'T IN THERE. SO BE AWARE THAT YOU NEED TO BUY BOTH. THEY RE SOLD SEPARATELY.
