Each lesson suggests a 'writing' activity that complements the page and is intended to encourage student writing. 'Extensions' pages provide reviews, plus exercises that require the student to build more words based on the spelling patterns of the previously studied words. Each Word List has been carefully selected to focus on a specific spelling element. The chosen words contain the sound and letter patterns that students at this grade level encounter in their reading and writing. Besides the Word List there is activitys on each Worksheet.
