Spellwell series

Spellwell series

The Spellwell series targets grades 2 through 5 with two worktexts per grade level. Books are designated A and AA for second grade level, B and BB for third grade level, C and CC for fourth, and D and DD for fifth. Teacher keys are single books that each cover the two books for a grade level. This series designs lessons around spelling rules or generalizations. Some of these are "discovered" by students as they look for patterns, while others are specifically identified. One or more "outlaw" words appear in each lesson, and space is provided for you to add your own words to be studied.

Lessons begin with a pretest. Students who get most or all words correct are then given an additional list of more-challenging words to study. A variety of age-appropriate activities help students recognize spelling patterns. Other thinking skills come into play in activities such as identifying rhyming words, words that fit the same categories, and antonyms and synonyms. There are also puzzles, scrambled letters, crosswords, and other more-entertaining activities.
