Christian values, uplifting quotes, and reminders to pray for help or thankfulness are noteworthy elements of this spelling workbook. The concepts presented in this book expose students to a broad range of spelling themes that cover several subjects. The first six units help students learn to spell the names of major countries and cities around the world, including U.S. states and capitals. Later units in this book cover words that are often used in law, economics, science, theology, art, health, agriculture, music, government, and business.

Vocabulary-building is emphasized through contextual exercises as well as a lesson dealing with word meanings. Word-bank, crossword, fill-in-the-blank, and other exercises are included, helping children gain familiarity with how words and sentences are constructed. Test sheets are included at the back of the book. This second edition features updated fonts and other minor aesthetic changes; two-tone pages don't distract from the content. 126 pages, softcover. 5th Grade. 2nd Edition.

This past summer I wanted a spelling book for my rising 5th and 6th graders to keep the mind active during our break. I ordered three of these (two 5th grades,& one for my 2nd grader also).
I had been happy with our past spelling books, but thought I would try something new for fun, and in the process found something fantastic. The layout of the work, the lessons, and the way in which the words are grouped is fantastic.
In my view they are slightly advanced for the grade level, but it is good for a student to have a little challenge.
The way in which they arrange the words (by grouping for example, a entire lesson with names of flowers, or countries, or banking terms) is great. I intend to use this program for my students from now on for part of their spelling lessons (and also Wordly Wise).
Great book. Great lessons. Great Price.
