Spelling Power 4th Edition Curriculum

This multilevel text is the Spelling Power that you hear about for homeschoolers. It is an economical, effective, and easy to use program for teacher and students. It is a multi-sensory approach that focuses on learning words you need to learn--as opposed to studying twenty new words whether you know them or not.

Cathy Duffy's 100 Top logoMy children enjoy giving each other the daily tests, though I would suggest that you have the test giver read the word list to you prior to the test-to make sure the pronunciation is correct!

Spelling Power Fourth Edition is a Lamp Post favorite. It has a CD-ROM for making copies of the forms or you can purchase individual Spelling Power Student Record Books if you prefer.

3/05 This program was chosen by Cathy Duffy as on of her "100 Top Picks for Homeschool Curriculum" in the language arts: spelling and vocabulary category.

The new revision features  a CD-Rom for printing copies of the forms.

"Your students will use this research proven program to master the 5,000 most frequently used words. These words are divided into 11 levels based on their usage. Each level of Spelling Power’s unique word list is then further organized by phonetic principles and spelling rules."

New words to learn come from your student’s own writing errors. Your students continue to study each of these words until they have spelled them correctly at least once. Assure mastery of each word your student studies.

"Everything you need to teach each of your students spelling skills to the college level is contained in this one easy-to-use, step-by-step curriculum package. You’ll even find everything you need to know to teach them proofreading and dictionary skills."

The Teacher’s Resource CD-ROM has printable skill-building activities, teaching aids, printable test forms and more. The Searchable Word List allows you to add words misspelled in daily writing to your students study words. There is also a Digital Spelling Tutor.

Spelling Power includes easy-to-understand Quick Start Steps and a Quick Start DVD Seminar to help you get started.

 I recommend using the student notebook to start when you are learning the system. It’s easier.

 While reproducible forms "are found in your Spelling Power manual, Student Record Books are handy and cost effective. They are conveniently bound, with all forms printed in light blue. It makes your student's own handwriting stand out."

 Below are recommended grade levels for selecting the proper student record book. I think the bottom line is to make the decision based on the size of your student's handwriting.
