Schedule
The schedule below is recommended for use with this book, with sessions lasting approximately fifteen to twenty minutes.
Day One
Have your child read over each of the words in the word list, paying close attention to the focus of each lesson, (long a, short a, consonant blends etc.) which is found directly below each word list. Provide your child with a spelling notebook, and have them write out the words in the word list two times each. Check their work for accuracy when they have finished and have them write out any misspelled words.
Day Two
Have your child complete all of the questions in Exercise A, writing the answers in the spaces provided in the book, and then mark their work. Have them correct any mistakes which they have made.
Day Three
Have your child complete all of the questions in Exercise B, following the procedure outlined in day two.
Day Four
Have your child complete all of the questions in Exercise C, following the procedure outlined in day two.
Day Five
Give your child a dictation in the notebook which you have provided, making sure to start on a fresh page, where no other words are visible. To give a dictation, take the words from the word list, in random order, and do it like this:
Parent says - "The first word is dog. The dog ran down the street - dog. Now carefully write the word dog." The child now writes the word dog in his/her notebook. After all of the words have been written, the parent corrects them and the score is placed in the space provided. The same procedure should be followed for all of the lessons in the book.
