A Must for Elementary Teachers

This book provides a wealth of ideas to help teach spelling in a way that is natural and not forced. Weekly spelling lists of contrived words only prove that your "good" spellers will always score high and the other won't; Bolton and Snowball offer a refreshing and successful alternative. This book offers practical techniques and strategies to help all children spell better and with a more critical eye than any mere list could possibly do. It shows teachers how to empower students to make good choices with spelling. I highly recommend this book; I obtained a copy three years ago and it never fails to come in handy. I use it all the time!
