Spelling Steps teaches students to spell the words they need for life

situations The vocabulary is drawn largely from a list developed from an

analysis of adult reading materials including newspapers, magazines,

novels, scientific journals, and other media

The four-binder spelling program is based on a careful plan for

teaching spelling skills It ensures that students not only learn to spell

the vocabulary words presented, but also master the skills needed to

learn to spell new words in the future

Each student progresses through the program at his or her own rate

Students may grade their own lesson tests and record their scores This

method is recommended for older students and independent study

Each unit concludes with a review lesson and a unit test The format

for unit tests is left open so that teachers may adapt the test to the needs

of each student The teacher may select which words to include and may

determine the length and style of the unit test

Spelling Steps includes a wide variety of learning activities designed to

reinforce and extend spelling skills Attention is given to providing learningactivities that are of interest to middle, secondary, and adult students

About Checking and Recording

Teachers are encouraged to have students check their answers after

completing each lesson Students may record their scores on the Record

of Progress chart for each unit review, beginning with Unit 3, Book 1

To allow students to check their own work, the answer keys may be

reproduced and distributed

A completed progress chart can be helpful for diagnosing a student’s

strengths and weaknesses Parents might also like to see how progress is

monitored The process of self-checking, scoring, and monitoring is for

analysis by both student and teacher to determine which skills need

greater reinforcement

Following the answer keys and individual student progress chart,

a class progress chart is provided to help track up to 30 students’

progress through the book Finally, there is a reproducible certificate of

achievement that can be awarded to students when a book is completed
