Evan-Moor Building Spelling Skills, Grade 1 - Homeschooling & Classroom Resource Workbook, Reproducible Worksheets, Teaching Edition, Spelling Strategies, Reading and Writing Skills

I really like this guide for spelling practice. This one includes the teacher instructions and sentences to dictate to the student. The paper quality in this is much better than the student work books. I also like that this comes spelling lists and test forms for the kids to use each week.

I have been using the oven more books for years and find that they are great to practice spelling. I’m currently using the first grade version on a second grader who needed spelling help. This is a very good way to teach spelling and words are organized very well in this book. I highly recommend.

I started this book with my 6 year old the summer before first grade. It is a great introduction to spelling so he could breeze through the first few months of school easily. The words get progressively harder. We don't do some of the activities since they aren't really helpful to him, but overall, it is an awesome tool for all kids as it has activities to encompass all types of learning. This book has been a good companion to the public school curriculum. The time we invested in doing homework has paid off in school.

As pictured

I am happy with the structure and content of this workbook and many of the other grade level books by this publisher; I used them in first and second grade with my son and plan to do the same with my daughter. I piece together my curriculum from lots of different sources, using this publisher as my primary source for geography, math, spelling and language. I will agree that there is some "busy work" that does not really help develop spelling skills, so we often skip those sections. I would also like a quarterly review/quiz activity to help reinforce things.

This is a great homeschool supplement and doesn't feel so overwhelming when it comes to spelling. It is a nice supplement that I use in place of our curriculums spelling because that is too vigorous not leaving me time for other things. This however has been fun and helpful in learning to spell.

This series of spelling books is awesome- I love how they build up skills from one week to the next, and have the lists and dictation sentences for each week listed in the beginning. I used it for my oldest from 2nd to now 5th grade and I started my youngest 1st grade on it now too. Super great product on its own or in addition to another program. (We use The Good and the Beautiful for curriculum but I love these books for extra practice everyday!)

Easy to use and well made

Pedí este libro para regalo, y me llegó manchado y usado. El contenido puede ser útil, pero nos decepcionó como nos llegó.

Use a lot of these books for our homeschooling and they are great.

This book is such a great tool to use for teaching littles how to spell! Each week has a manageable number of new words along with some activities to practice spelling them out. You will likely need to pair more activities along with them but overall it’s a great book!

These help kids so much by trying to write the words themself the right way

A good resource for Grade One spelling practise. I wish the pages had a wider margin so they could be photocopied without adjustment. It is hard to read the directions when you place the pages in the duotang. Also, I would have preferred the words for copying on the first page of each week to be written in a dotted line rather than in grey font, as they are illegible/invisible once you photocopy them. Otherwise, I enjoy the progression and a variety of skills and techniques to help with retention. Reading comprehension, Elkonin boxes, proofreading, sorting by sound/spelling rule. The last 10 weeks I would prefer -ce, -es, -ed, -ing, -tch, -dge, -ir/-or/-ar/-er practice.
