This new eight-book spelling series makes possible an organized,
effective spelling program in just thirty minutes of class time
per week. Each book is suitable for half a school year. Book B
is for the first half of third grade. Book BB must be used for
the second half. The first ten to twelve words in each lesson
are grade-level words that follow a particular pattern. Sight
words frequently used in writing are also included. In addition,
each lesson allows space for words from students' reading or
writing. Spellwell offers students the opportunity to select
words they would like to know how to spell. Spellwell's
organization provides for daily practice at home, with class
time used for a pretest and posttest and, in some lessons, group
games. Students writing skills are also developed through
exercises that ask them to write a paragraph on a specific topic
that includes several spelling words. The result will be
students with a larger vocabulary who are able to communicate
their ideas in writing. Average Cu
