Incredibly fantastic book to help you improve your spelling

I simply cannot say enough about this book as to how effective a tool it is if you want to improve your spelling. I bought 3 of these so each of my 2 sons and I are doing it together. It helps you identify your weaknesses and you work on those problem areas. Awesome for anyone and especially good for home school.

FABULOUS!!

Both my father and I used this book to work on our spelling. I was born in the US, and English is my first and only language. Ironically, I am actually an English major. While I could interpret the innerworkings of Shakespeare, I couldn't spell basic English words. I started using this book and my spelling improved incredibly! My father, an immigrant from India, didn't begin to learn English until he was 17 years old. However, by the time he had finished with this book, his spelling was nearly perfect!! This book is great for anyone and everyone!!
