Spelling Simplified: Grade 6

Encourage your sixth graders in their spelling practice with this book of pattern-based word lists. Students are encouraged to learn their words by saying and spelling words aloud, spelling with their eyes closed, writing the word, checking, correcting and repeating the process until the words are correct. Each two page lesson includes room to write out their word list, a "my own words" list where children can write down similar words, a spelling pattern exercise, "speller's contract", partner-test and self evaluation strategy. Featured words include tremendous, boulder/bolder, indifferent, discoloration, philanthropy, and others. Answer key included. Cursive Zaner-Bloser letterforms used.
