Building Spelling Skills, Grade 6 Teacher Edition

An excellent resource. Good skill-building, vocab and spelling activities. I found it useful to have my kid work through the set of spelling words, then give my own "spoken" test at the end. It has a variety of activities associated with each set of words, which allows kids to see (and write) the words several times over. The fact of the matter is, schools don't focus on spelling nearly enough (if at all) anymore and I found this to be an excellent supplemental resource. Worth the money.

I absolutely love these for our homeschool! I wish they continued past grade 6! Highly recommend!

Homeschool - after using my curriculum’s provided spelling program for kindergarten through fourth grade, I found my daughter really didn’t know how to spell words very well. Fifth grade, I tried a workbook similar to this, sixth grade I tried a whole other program. I was not satisfied with either of these. I got this workbook this year, I really feel like it works well. For example, on one of the lists, after doing the second step of the first day’s exercise, where you cover the words and write them again, my daughter did not know nine of them, but by the end of the week, she only missed one letter out of all of the words. Each day I have her right correctly the words she missed five times, and each day I see the number of incorrect words go down. I did order one grade level down, because I feel like we are still trying to catch up in our spelling and it seems just right, some words she knows easily, some words she still learns

Needed this book for homeschool. Was a great spelling book

I use this resource to creat weekly homework packages for my students. There are 4 pages of activities to go with each list of words. I like how the activities change throughout the book so the students do not get bored as they move through the word lists. If a student needs extra practice on a list of words, I just use the internet to create new activities based on the word list provided. A helpful thing to add in a future print would be to include extra activities at the back of the book that could be formulated to go with any list of words to use when extra practice is needed.
