The Spelling Plus curriculum is designed to help your children improve their spelling skills and apply them to their writing. The program believes that correctly spelling words on a weekly test is just the beginning of mastering the language. Therefore, the curriculum encourages mixed review, dictation, and editing exercises to help students consistently spell well. The program focuses on 1000 core words, with 10 words for Level A and 165 words for Levels B-G. Each week, students receive a list of 15 words to learn.
The program recommends two activities to help teach spelling: a daily practice activity that takes 10-12 minutes per day, and a daily dictation of four sentences that takes 15-20 minutes per day. The book is written for teachers and includes pedagogical explanations of the program and instructions for its implementation. Each week, the book provides the weekly spelling list along with notes that cover patterns and teacher information. The book also includes notes for extending the lesson, review, and homophones as needed.
Students will need to write their lists on separate paper or use the (not-included and sold-separately) Spelling Plus Workbook . The book is 168 pages, indexed, and comes in a softcover format.
