Spelling You See Level C: Wild Tales Instructor's Handbook

The "SpellingYouSee" program from Demme Learning is a unique, research-based homeschool spelling curriculum with five levels that follow the developmental stages of language development. Developed by Dr. Karen Holinga, this program allows students to develop spelling skills naturally and at their own pace with the direction and encouragement of the instructor. Relying upon visual memory that's built through repeated reading and repeated writing, students will learn spelling through short daily activities that integrate copywork, reading, speaking, and listening, rather than relying on rote memorization for weekly tests. Spelling You See Level C: Wild Tales is suggested for a student who knows letter sounds and spells many common words correctly. It is also suitable for readers between the ages of 7 and 10 who struggle with spelling (see the More Information [PDF] for an explanation of each stage). When determining placement, these are questions to ask: Is my student under the age of 10? Can my student comfortably write two or three sentences at a time? The following passage is written at the minimum reading level for Wild Tales. Can your student read it without difficulty? Little Bo Peep has lost her sheep And doesn't know where to find them. Leave them alone, and they'll come home, Wagging their tails behind them. This course relies upon teacher instruction and the (sold-separately) Wild Tales Student Workbook Set cannot be completed without this instructor's handbook. It features the philosophy and overview for the program, frequently asked questions, short instructions that cover individual and multiple lessons, and a weekly activity guide. This is followed by passages for dictation. A line-listed answer key is also provided. 52 pages with glossary, softcover. 9.25" x 8".
