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.
The Modern Milestones Student Pack includes two student workbooks and a pack of erasable colored pencils. Each of the 36 lessons is divided into five parts, A through E, and includes two facing pages. The pages include instructional material for the student. Each day the student reads the passage and marks the appropriate base words, suffixes, and prefixes indicated for that day's lesson. Copywork, writing from dictation, and a weekly Workshop page provide opportunities to practice word patterns in a meaningful context. Modern Milestones is designed for students in the Word Extension stage of spelling. 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.

My kids have done previous levels of this program and we like it. My older child used this level, so we're continuing with the program.
This program really works. After 2 years of using Spelling You See, my 11 year old male student is an excellent speller. It is expensive, but the easiest spelling program for me.
my kids like how this isn't just memorization. It allows them to practice the words as well as highlight certain characteristics of words to help them remember how to spell them.
I love how this program uses phonograms, copy work, and spelling in sentences rather than lists of words. I also love that my kids can do most of it independently!
