Spectrum Spelling, Grade 5

Very great book for home schooling easy to follow

Includes everything you'll need - enjoyed using this for our daughters curriculum!

Helps with her spelling. She works at her own pace on her own

We purchased this for our daughter to use over the summer to prepare for fifth grade. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, allowing her to complete the work independently. She understood the material well and felt confident and prepared for fifth grade after the break!

The words are pretty easy and we like the activities. There are a few things lacking: The first page is just writing down the words; There is no vocabulary review; There is no place to actually take a spelling test.We use this for homeschooling and there are 4 pages per lesson. This is how we use each page and how we supplement:Day 1: Page 1 - Write and say the words (We accompany this with looking up and writing the definitions for each word. There’s a handy dictionary in the back.)Day 2: Page 2 - Use the words in a story. (This is a good fill in the blank activity. But before we do this, we review what the words mean and write our own sentences. This is the toughest page for us so we have to do these pre-activities we created to make sure my daughter understands the words first. These are activities we do on our own-not in the book.)Day 3: Page 3 - Write words that fit each description, introduction to new words (This page includes some phonetics and some related challenge words)Day 4: Page 4 - Use the words to write a storyDay 5: We do a spelling test (This is not in the book)

The delivery was very fast. The books were brand new and of good quality.

Good tool for helping with spelling!!!

1st year homeschooling. I added this work book to our curriculum. Comes with an answer key which isn’t needed but nice to have. Doesn’t included spelling tests but you can administer that yourself. Overall very happy with the product
