Customer Reviews

Happy Customer

I bought this book to use with my fifth grade students who struggle with spelling. The activities are great, and my students love them. This is a great product.

Good for homeschooling

I am using the Spectrum books to homeschool my 1st and 4th graders. They seem to be working very well for us.

Great Workbook

My five year old daughter loves to do workbooks and this is a nice series. If your child likes these books, they will also love the Jumpstart books. Very helpful for kids in school.

Good for first grade

This is a good, simple introduction to spelling for kids. One beef I have with it is that they say "ABC order." It's a small thing, I know, but kids are smart. You can say "alphabetical order" and they'll not only understand, but they will know the proper terminology. I'm also not sure I agree with the proofreading exercises. I'm nervous that kids might imprint the improper spelling on their brains just as easily as the correct spelling, thereby causing more problems than the exercise is seeking to prevent. You can just mark out that segment, though, if you agree with me. Otherwise, I like it.

A must for home schooling!

I am the mother of 5. I have been home schooling for some time! McGraw-Hill's Spectrum curriculum is by far an outstanding addition to any home schooler! I like the over all content of this spelling book. It provides 36 well designed lessons which cover vowel sounds, abbreviations, plural nouns, adjectives, compound words and much more! Each lesson is covered in 4 pages. It includes a dictionary and answer key in the back of the book. Spectrum covers a wealth of information in their books! My children trul enjoy these books! I usually do not write reviews, but I had to for these wonderful books! Also, the price is very reasonable! In His service, Jennifer Culp Maplesville, Alabama MysoulisGods@msn.com
