Klappentext The Spelling Teacher's Lesson-a-Day: 180 Reproducible Activisties to Teach Spelling, Phonics, and Vocabulary The Spelling Teacher's Lesson-a-Day gives teachers 180 engaging and ready-to-use lessons--one for each day of the school year. These instructive and fun-filled lessons are designed to boost spelling skills in students in grades 3-8 or be used as remedial for older students. Teachers can apply the lessons in a variety of ways. For example, they can be used as "sponge" or "hook" activities (five-minute lessons to start off each school day). To add variety to the daily curriculum, teachers can pick and choose activities from within the book for the occasional spelling lesson. Written by educational expert Edward B. Fry, this easy-to-use resource offers helpful suggestions for teaching spelling patterns by contrasting homophones (like-sounding words). This method has proven to help students recognize these spelling patterns in more complex words. The techniques and suggestions presented here can enhance students' spelling skills by demystifying contractions, abbreviations, capitalization, silent letters, suffixes and prefixes, and much more. The Spelling Teacher's Lesson-a-Day is presented in a lay-flat format for easy photocopying and can be used by classroom teachers, homeschoolers, tutors, and parents. Praise for Edward B.
