Evan-Moor Building Spelling Skills, Grade 1 - Homeschooling & Classroom Resource Workbook, Reproducible Worksheets, Teaching Edition, Spelling Strategies, Reading and Writing Skills

I have been using the oven more books for years and find that they are great to practice spelling. I’m currently using the first grade version on a second grader who needed spelling help. This is a very good way to teach spelling and words are organized very well in this book. I highly recommend.

This is a great homeschool supplement and doesn't feel so overwhelming when it comes to spelling. It is a nice supplement that I use in place of our curriculums spelling because that is too vigorous not leaving me time for other things. This however has been fun and helpful in learning to spell.

As pictured

Help your child with spelling! Lists that helps the child understand groups of words & the use of the words in sentences. A great help in the process of teaching the child spelling!

I am happy with the structure and content of this workbook and many of the other grade level books by this publisher; I used them in first and second grade with my son and plan to do the same with my daughter. I piece together my curriculum from lots of different sources, using this publisher as my primary source for geography, math, spelling and language. I will agree that there is some "busy work" that does not really help develop spelling skills, so we often skip those sections. I would also like a quarterly review/quiz activity to help reinforce things.

Perfecto cuaderno

Easy to use and well made

This series of spelling books is awesome- I love how they build up skills from one week to the next, and have the lists and dictation sentences for each week listed in the beginning. I used it for my oldest from 2nd to now 5th grade and I started my youngest 1st grade on it now too. Super great product on its own or in addition to another program. (We use The Good and the Beautiful for curriculum but I love these books for extra practice everyday!)

Pedí este libro para regalo, y me llegó manchado y usado. El contenido puede ser útil, pero nos decepcionó como nos llegó.

These help kids so much by trying to write the words themself the right way

This book is such a great tool to use for teaching littles how to spell! Each week has a manageable number of new words along with some activities to practice spelling them out. You will likely need to pair more activities along with them but overall it’s a great book!

Useful

A good resource for Grade One spelling practise. I wish the pages had a wider margin so they could be photocopied without adjustment. It is hard to read the directions when you place the pages in the duotang. Also, I would have preferred the words for copying on the first page of each week to be written in a dotted line rather than in grey font, as they are illegible/invisible once you photocopy them. Otherwise, I enjoy the progression and a variety of skills and techniques to help with retention. Reading comprehension, Elkonin boxes, proofreading, sorting by sound/spelling rule. The last 10 weeks I would prefer -ce, -es, -ed, -ing, -tch, -dge, -ir/-or/-ar/-er practice.
