It has been said that if children can not learn the way we teach, we must teach the way they learn. That is why this book is so different from other spelling books!
This spelling method is best for 2nd, 3rd and 4th grades, but with mom's help it can be used for children as young as five years old. The activities in this book can be used for Dyslexic children and children who are hyper-active, have ADHD or Autism. Struggling learners thrive with this method!

Brandy's 9-year-old thrived with this book:
"Recently purchased this book to help make writing a little more fun for my reluctant 9 yr old boy. He enjoys the art work and looking around the house for words, making his own calendar, using words to describe a picture. Hands down this is 1 of the best books I could have bought for him."

Do not worry about correcting your child's work until they get to the part of the book where they are writing their own short stories.
By reading their short stories you can identify all the words that the child has trouble spelling. You can teach them those words by having them write each one down seven times in different colors.Do not make any marks or corrections on the child's book, this is his or her spelling journal, and should not be damaged by grades, or marks. Celebrate everything your child shows you in this journal, and remember learning to spell is like learning to talk. Your child will have some very "cute" ways of spelling in the beginning, and all you have to do is play the COLOR GAME with those words, once the child finishes this journal. As the child works through the journal they may start by spelling some things very "creatively" don't worry! When you read their stories at the end of the book you will see that many spelling problems have "self corrected" because of all the spelling games and activities in this book. Spelling can be fun!
