Spelling - An Integrated Approach for Middle School

Highlights of the Program

Spelling--An Integrated Approach for Middle School was created by a language arts teacher who became tired of the fill-in-the-blank spelling format and wanted more from a spelling program.
The program integrates spelling lessons with reading, writing, and grammar.
A spelling rule or phonics/letter patterns is the focus of each lesson. All words for that week fall under that same spelling rule or phonics/letter pattern.
Students create their own sentences. A page, called Writing Reminders, promotes success by giving definitions and examples of the 25 writing skills students will be practicing throughout the year. Students of all academic levels have had great success with the program's unique structure.
Lessons and activities are geared toward students' academic levels and needs.
Spelling dictation is provided for each review (every 3rd lesson) for teachers who prefer more than just a weekly word test.
Program is offered in three levels to accommodate different grades and abilities.
There are 160 specially selected words in each level--teacher recommended (more than 50%), frequently misspelled, and commonly used words making the program meaningful to students and teachers. Also included in every level is a lesson on commonly misspelled words as well as a lesson on common prefixes.
