This practical book invites you into the classrooms of two teachers who have developed a spelling program that produces successful spellers year after year. They discuss the early stages of spelling development and what makes a good speller, and show you how to teach spelling so it's fun and meaningful. Other topics include: developing spelling lists from kids' writing, spelling difficult words, games such as letter races, word bingo, and crossword puzzles; building vocabulary with word walls, and personal word books; supporting children who have difficulty spelling, and more.
