Description:

The more practice children have with concepts taught in school, the more success they find. Perfect Spelling helps teachers and parents give children more practice with basic spelling skills. The exercises in this book can be completed in any order, and they help students:

• understand consonant sounds
• recognize short vowel sounds
• know the most common digraphs sounds and spellings
• spell high-frequency words. High-frequency words are the 1,000 words that make up 90 per cent of all written material
• spell grade-level-appropriate words
• figure out how to write words based on a knowledge of word patterns (also called word families)
