Spelling Workout: Level D Paperback – Student Edition, July 27, 2001

I’ve used this spelling program for a number of years. The price has increased quite a bit in that time. I took a chance and bought a used one. It’s a consumable workbook so I was a bit hesitant to go used. However it was clean of any writing as described. The cover has a folded corner and that’s it. Otherwise it was in perfect condition for a great price! It contains a lot of varied activities to practice spelling and also has a lot of vocabulary help with learning meanings of prefixes and suffixes.

Great combo of easy and hard and also I love the cursive word list every chapter to force that skill as well.

We love this series! Every 6th lesson is a review, the list is written in cursive, and the assignments per lesson are perfect for a week.We write the list on Monday, do pages 1-4 Tuesday through Friday, and test on Friday. Any misspellings are rewritten three times each, then we hold onto those words for our review. LOVE that we review! The whole thing is really great.I would suggest the teacher book to correspond, at least for the first use so you can see how each lesson is broken down and what they are teaching. This would be especially helpful for the spelling challenged.

I purchased this book for my 5th grader, he has a learning disability, and I really think it will help with his Spelling. I like that the first part of the lesson is a story, and the last part is a proofreading exercise. My only complaint is I would like more of these particular exercises. I would think that for us (homeschoolers) we will still have to add in some additional exercises/practice.

We've been using Sequential Spelling with a (mildly) dyslexic child for about a year now. While I *do* think that's a good program, it is very repetitive (in a tiresome way) for both the parent and child, and my own experience is that it didn't foster any independent learning. Additionally, SS required a full 30 minutes for each lesson and with four children that would clearly be a prohibitive program.I read recommendations for this on the Well-Trained Mind forums, and absolutely love it. There are a range of activities to complete each week, and those vary so that the work doesn't become boring. My two children who will be using this program next year were excited upon reviewing the pages as there are crossword puzzles and other things that are appealing to a child. I did also purchase the Instructor's Guides and found them worthwhile, particularly with the scheduling and philosophy behind the program.

My grandson and I have been home schooling since 7th grade. We have used these books for three years. The spelling lists have greatly enlarged his vocabulary. The lessons that accompany each list are really good - and include everything from a crossword, to fill in the blanks, etc. I highly recommend these.

I homeschool and have been through many spelling programs that don't give much practice. This program is a wonderful find that incorporates a reading section with spelling words, practice activities, a written passage to correct (with proofreading marks taught along the way), and a writing prompt. I currently use this for my 3rd grader who is a bit advanced in spelling. She never complains about spelling lessons, and gets 100% on all 20 words each week. I can't praise this series enough!

We have enjoyed using Spelling Workout for our children. It is a simple way to practice spelling, and they don't even realize they are working. It is basically like an activity book, where they do crossword puzzles, read shorts stories etc. I highly recommend it.

Great for tutoring my cousin. Very self explanatory and easy to follow

Very useful for home learning

ok

Unser althergebrachtes Unterrichtsmaterial von der German American School of Portland, Oregon. Wie immer sehr gut. Ich unterrichte meine Tochter damit nebenbei, damit sie in der 4 Klasse Grundschule ihr Englisch nicht verlernt.

Easy to use. Teacher guide isn't necessary. I use this series to teach spelling to my kids (homeschooler).
