It focuses on areas that other spelling books and schemes ignore: - using memory tricks to remember tricky spelling- improving visual memory- knowing spelling rules & exceptions- building words with prefixes and suffixes The book is very useful for teachers and homeschoolers providing some great ideas for exercises, group work, and games in the classroom. Using a combination of well-known, proven literacy techniques and spelling strategies, this book will help kids learn, remember, and improve their spellings while reinforcing and building: spelling knowledge, confidence, and love of spelling and writing. The "curriculum" for this book has been taken from the UK statutory curriculum for this age group, and consultations with US teachers. Graham J Spooner of The Sensible Tuition Company: I enjoyed reading through the 'tricks and tips' for how to develop your spelling. This is exactly the sort of thing that my students are asking me for advice on regularly -- and there are a lot of things in here that I think will be directly useable in lessons.
