$20.97
View Details

The Spelling Workout Level H homeschool bundle includes Student Edition; Teacher Edition; and Parent Guide


The Modern Curriculum Press (MCP) Spelling Workout is a homeschool program designed to be highly engaging by requiring active participation. Instead of simply reading and memorizing words, your child will learn how to predict Spelling patterns with the help of some hands-on activities. The MCP Spelling Workout curriculum for homeschooling includes riddles, puzzles, writing prompts and cross​-curricular reading assignments that make Spelling an exciting subject.

​

By the time your child reaches Grade 8, which is the final installment in the MCP Spelling Workout program, he or she will be ready to take on more complex information. During MCP Spelling Workout: Grade 8, he or she will grasp the English language rules that will help him or her predict patterns in Spelling. For instance, your child will know that "i" comes before "e," except after "c." Additionally, your child will solidify his or her foundational Spelling knowledge while gleaning new age-appropriate Spelling concepts.
