NEW AND REVISED 2nd EDITION includes updates to weekly read-aloud stories, dictation sentences, student exercises, and more.
The Level F Student Worktext includes 32 lessons consisting of 5 days of spelling exercises, activities and games.
The week begins with a read-aloud story (found in the Teacher Guidebook) to introduce the topic and theme Scripture text for the week. Students then complete a preview exercise that gauges which of the 25 weekly spelling words will require the most focused practice. In the following days, students complete a variety of learning activities and word games to help master the spelling list and underlying concepts. The week concludes with a post-test to allow the student to demonstrate his progress. On the 6th week, all words from previous weeks will be reviewed and students receive a certificate of completion.
Note: The weekly theme Scripture text in A Reason for Spelling Level F corresponds with the same week's verse in A Reason for Handwriting Level F, thus reinforcing the Biblical values found in each lesson.
From the same company that produces A Reason for Handwriting comes the impressive A Reason for Spelling program. A placement test at the beginning of each level helps you determine how to implement the program for your child or if you should place them in a lower level. Basically, a child should begin the first level book (A) as soon as they know the alphabet, can recognize letters, and can spell short vowel, one-syllable words. For first-grade students who lack some of these skills, a rather extensive (65 page) phonics review section at the beginning of this level can be used before beginning the spelling program.
The format of lessons in each level follows a weekly schedule. Each full-color Workbook provides a weekly story theme that is supported by phonics-based spelling exercises that include a variety of reinforcement and enrichment activities. Each lesson begins with a pre-test, then presents a Scripture verse and theme story. Following spelling corrections, students complete an activity in which they write each spelling word into a sequence of shaped boxes. Spelling words are studied using a “Hide and Seek” activity. A language arts activity aids in retention. Students end the week by taking a post-test, updating their progress charts and adding missed words to their spelling dictionaries.
The Teacher Guidebook outlines specific activities for each lesson such as dictation exercises, read-aloud stories, hands-on projects, vocabulary drill, learning games, proofreading, review work, and weekly tests for evaluation purposes. Teacher Guidebooks are essential to the use of this program. Most of the benefit of the program and all specific teaching instructions for using the worktext will be lost without them.
We strongly recommend purchasing the Sets (include both the Teacher Guidebook and Student Worktext). Designed to work well within a homeschool setting or in a traditional classroom.
The revised 2nd edition includes updates to weekly read-aloud stories, dictation sentences, student exercises, and more.
Great sale price!
it works well with my child
I've been using this one since first grade and we like it.
My 11 year loves these workbooks! She does her spelling for fun. I thought it might become monotonous because each week is exactly the same thing/in the same order but she thrives on the continuity.
