[Donna · Rating 4 out of 5]

An interesting series of lessons to help your students with spelling. Lessons are separated into chapters phonetically, showing several spelling variations which are used for a specific sound. Teachers should read this to refamiliarise themselves with the rules, which would certainly smoothe over the answering of any questions that may be raised by students.

I found this very useful in my Saudi Arabian teaching context, and my students loved some of the exercises in this book.

An excellent guide to teach spelling from beginner to advanced with clear instructions and accompanying exercises.
