Description

Brings a new dimension to spelling instruction by emphasizing the relationship between the way that words look and the way that they sound. Presents numerous classroom activities that teach students to listen for vowel and consonant sounds and to recognize patterns in the letter combinations that correspond to those sounds. Instead of memorizing lists of unrelated words, students learn spelling as a system of sound/symbol correspondence that can be applied in a variety of academic situations to support other skills. Each unit in this workbook ends with a review that reinforces the patterns and the connections between the word spellings and sounds. --
