Synopsis

This reproducible-packed resource will help your students become competent spellers while enjoying every minute of learning. Based on the latest research that strong spellers break words into root words, prefixes, and suffixes to determine the correct spelling. Entertaining practice sentences teach and reinforce spelling rules such as the doubling rule for one-syllable words, the final y rule, the i-before-e rule, apostrophes in contractions, homophone demons, and others. Student reviews are in a fun, game form—puzzles, mazes, secret codes. For use with Grades 4-8.
