Spelling Made Easy: The Homonym Way to Better Spelling

Spelling can be fun! • Do you have a student who struggles with spelling? • Have you wondered how to teach your student the difference between similar words? • Would you like a spelling program students enjoy using? Spelling Made Easy is what you're looking for! Spelling Made Easy uses homonyms and puzzles to make spelling instruction easy and painless for middle-grade students. As a bonus, students build vocabulary as they are studying each homonym group! There are 290 homonym groups in the book. Every ten groups form a lesson, which includes the list of homonyms with word definitions plus four puzzles. I have placed suggested assignments on every lesson page. They're suggestions only, but they may make your life a little easier. Daily assignments are adaptable to your student's pace. Spelling Made Easy is designed to be used over two years, but is flexible enough to be done in more or less time. Connie Schenkelberg has taught English in a variety of settings.
