Word Building

Levels 1-8

Word Building increases the child’s vocabulary base and reinforces his confidence and capability in spelling. Earlier levels expand the student’s grasp of phonetic sounds and combinations. Each level presents appropriate spelling rules and their exceptions by both statement and drill. This course begins with simple words and progresses through complex words, teaching the relationships between words and spelling patterns.
