Evan Moor Educational Publishers Building Spelling Skills Grade 4

I appreciate the variety of words, as it covers some similar sounding words and challenges student to know the difference, as well as identify patterns. The lessons are well thought out and lessons are presented very straightforward, so thankfully I didn’t need to hover to teach. There are parts to practice copying words, then writing from memory, then matching them with their meaning (in various ways, sometimes mix n match, crossword puzzle), and using them in a sentence. Sometimes you fill in missing letters, syllables, Latin roots, or other variations. It’s great for etymology. My son doesn’t love this because it’s still homework in his mind (purchased grade 4), but he doesn’t hate it because it’s actually pretty straightforward and quick, despite his perfectionism that can be time-consuming. I highly recommend these spelling books.

Excellent! Highly recommend, especially if you're homeschooling.

too many words per week (20, I think) for my daughter (8) who does not enjoy spelling. It's very well organised on 5 days a week, the concept is good.

I really love this style of learning with the spelling list followed by practise sheets using those specific words prior to taking the test!

Finally! We found a homeschool spelling book that fits our needs. This is the 5th spelling book we've tried in 3 years of homeschooling . It's definitely the best so far. So many of the other curriculum try to include too much. It is simple and to the point. It's not a great book for writing or vocabulary . There's not enough of either. It's really just simple spelling activities encouraging the child to write the words a few times a day and to visually spot incorrect spelling. Each lesson takes only a few minutes.
