Intended more for students who have, or have had, difficulty learning to spell, How To Teach Spelling is a teacher guide that blitzes through the basic spelling rules and all the phonograms. It can be easily used to teach a single child or an entire classroom and is intended for all grade levels, whenever a student needs help. The lessons are progressive, so you can't skip around, and all of them utilize phonogram cards (not included).
There are four consumable How to Spell workbooks available which contain age-appropriate presentations of the basic material in the teacher's guide, as well as exercises. Answer keys for the workbooks are available separately, but you shouldn't need them as the answers are generally included in the lessons themselves. Workbook 1 is for first grade, Workbook 2 for grades 2-3, Workbook 3 for grades 4-6, and Workbook 4 is for grades 7-12. There is some overlap in content between the workbooks, but each one is arranged according to grade level, so you don't need to worry about kids just doing the same work over and over (if you even need to use these in more than one grade level).
