We love this spelling curriculum. Each week has a lesson outlined with words with similar spelling sounds or patterns. The common criteria that link the list of words are on the first day's work. The editing articles are cute and interesting for my daughter. She has enjoyed this so much that she has been working ahead each week. She is on track to finish this book by Christmas. I ordered a grade up for her and I'm glad I did. As the teacher, all the planning is done for you. This teacher's manual even has practice test sentences and test sentences written for you.

We love this spelling bundle for so many reasons! It's easy to use, affordable, and solid! My son has ADHD, and loves this spelling curriculum. I would not recommend to move your child up a grade level unless they are advanced in this area. We found that the grade level he was entering in the fall was perfect for him.

The teachers manual is a great resource for direction and teaching tips, I would highly recommend purchasing it to go along with your students book.

I like the activities with each lesson and the teacher's manual is very easy to use. After using A Beka Book spelling previously though, this seems too easy for 5th grade so if you're looking for a very do-able curriculum, this is it. If you need something more challenging, either go a grade up or use an alternative. What I like about it is the combination of similar type words that use the same phonics sound or spelling rule. I gave it 4 stars because I've found a couple of misprints and because of the "easiness" per grade level. But overall I will probably use again.
