Practice spelling through every learning style! Sequential Spelling teaches word families through auditory (hearing the word), visual (seeing the correct word), kinesthetic (tracing the correct word) and oral (saying the word) channels. Children are allowed to have to the freedom to guess and learn from their mistakes as tests are seen as opportunities to learn from student self-corrected mistakes, rather than a method of evaluation. By teaching words in word families, students will be learning and using vocabulary not normally learned until introduced in much later grades, giving them a head-start in much of their reading. Students learn to recognize patterns in words, allowing them to de-code and spell words they may have never encountered before.
This Level 6 Teacher's Guide includes detailed teacher instructions as well as word lists to be used in the same format for the rest of the year, as well as homophone & heteronyms lists, evaluation tests with fill-in-the-blank sentences and 60-day periodical written tests for parents who feel more comfortable with some grading system.
Sequential Spelling Level 6 teaches word families in eight week blocks with review throughout. Families covered include ior, iety, ize, ion, iac, etic, and ity, leading to words such as superior, society, socialize maniac, magnetic and heredity. Volume levels do not necessarily correspond to grades, though levels do become progressively more difficult. 68 pages, softcover.
The Student Response Book is included in this kit.
