A Reason For Spelling Set includes the Teacher Guidebook and the Student Workbook.

How do children best learn to spell? Research says it takes more than just rote memorization and drill. Activities with a purpose are the key! What better purpose is there than learning Scripture values?

Every weekly lesson begins with a story — a contemporary theme story that develops key principles found in that week’s Scripture verse. Daily lessons continue to build on this theme and help make learning to spell FUN! In addition, A Reason for Spelling encourages regular personal writing activities in a values-based setting. This gives children a meaningful context for focusing on correct spelling.

A Reason for Spelling combines the latest research on how children learn to spell with all the strengths of traditional programs. It integrates spelling with reading, writing, and language arts, while teaching children all the high-frequency base words, plus hundreds of other word forms as well.

This program incorporates a variety of successful teaching techniques: daily practice, self-correction, visual imaging, detailed student feedback, learning games, the test/study/test sequence, and much more. It also includes special activities in every lesson to help motivate visual, auditory, tactile, and multi-faceted learners.

There are over 200 pages of learning activities in each student workbook. The detailed Teacher Guidebook provides a wealth of enrichment ideas and is a must for this program’s success. Extra student workbooks can be purchased separately.
