The spelling teacher's lesson-a-day: 180 reproducible activities to teach spelling, phonics, and vocabulary

The Spelling Teacher's Lesson-a-Day provides teachers with 180 engaging, ready-to-use lessons -- one for each day of the school year -- that boost spellingskills in students grades 3-8. These lessons may be used as sponge or hook activities (five-minute lessons to start off each school day) or teachers may simply pick and choose activities from within the book for the occasional spelling lesson. Each one-page activity contrasts 2-3 homophones (like-sounding words) to show that the same sounds can be spelled in very different ways. Students learn definitions for the 2-3 different words and answer a series of Which is right? questions designed to help them choose the word most appropriate for the given sentence. The lesson concludes with a review of words following the same spelling patterns as the featured example words; this demonstrates for students that many words use similar spelling patterns and helps them to recognize these patterns in more complex words. In addition to learning spelling and phonics, students will learn about capitalization, suffixes and prefixes, silent letters, and more.
