Spelling You See Level G: Modern Milestones Instructor's Handbook (old edition)
The 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.
The Modern Milestones Instructor's Handbook contains an introduction to the philosophy behind Spelling You See and the five developmental 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 to be taught at this level. At the back of the Handbook there is more information about each activity, answers to frequently asked questions, the passages for dictation, and an answer key. There are also tables summarizing the word patterns taught in Modern Milestones. Modern Milestones is designed for students in the Word Extension stage of spelling. Students are introduced to a new way of marking word patterns that emphasizes how prefixes and suffixes are added to base words to enhance or change their meanings. Copywork and dictation activities provide opportunities for students to practice new word patterns in a meaningful context. A weekly Workshop page provides more practice with the concepts taught in each lesson. The focus of the passages in Modern Milestones is on artists, musicians, scientists, and others who have influenced our world since early modern times. This level has been designed to encourage more independent learning on the part of the student, always with the support and encouragement of the instructor.
For the student who can spell everyday words with ease and is ready for the Word Extension stage of spelling. He/she should also be able to follow written directions and work independently. The focus is on artists, musicians, scientists, and others who have influenced our world since the invention of the printing press. The student will study the patterns that are used to create alternate word forms as well as examine how prefixes and suffixes are used to build new words. Workshop activities are designed to reinforce the patterns being used and to help the student apply these patterns to other words. Most of the teaching material is included in the Student Workbook. Resources include the Passages, an Answer Key, the Appendix, a Glossary, a Bibliography, and an Index of Names. The Appendix includes a summary of word patterns and a list of suffixes and prefixes taught. Please note that this level has been revised for 2025 and is not compatible with the previous edition. This program is no longer sold as a Universal Set - please see #SYSGRV for an equivalent set. Online placement test available at https://spellingyousee.com/levels/#placement
