Answer keys are provided so parents can check their child’s progress. Perforated pages allow the exercises to be removed for display or to be placed in a progress file.
Grounded in solid phonics-based concepts, these workbooks help young learners hone their spelling skills. The PreK and K levels introduce how letter sounds are related to spelling. In Grades 1 and 2, children are introduced to letter patterns, plurals and other word endings, and spelling principles that will follow them through their school years.
