Product Details

How to Teach Spelling manual is an easy-to-use, spiral-bound guide for all of the How to Spell workbooks (sold separately). This valuable resource contains 176 pages of information, including a detailed index and a table of contents with grade level recommendations, skills, spelling generalizations, and word lists. This spelling program reflects an Orton-Gillingham-based approach in that it is systematic and rule-based. Recommendations of what and how much to teach at each grade level are made at the beginning of each lesson or section. Student teachers, new teachers, and tutors will find the suggested method especially useful, while experienced teachers will find the sample words, lessons, and exercises helpful.

How to Teach Spelling is an excellent program for helping students learn to recognize the sounds in the English language, to decode words, and to spell words correctly by relying on spelling rules and patterns rather than on memory.
