Spectrum Phonics, Grade 1: Volume 91

I did this with my son who is technically in kindergarten but already knowing him letters and sounds I wanted something that could challenge him and it was a great intro to phonics. He can sound out lots of easy readers but would rather not. This workbook did it's job, giving him the tools.

I used the Spectrum Phonics workbooks for my (homeschool) kindergartner and third grader this year. My Kindergartner used Phonics grade 1, and did just fine. I really like the workbooks, as they complimented the SWR spelling program that I am (half heartedly) using. I will order the 2nd and 4th grade levels for this next school year.

I will have to say this is one of the best workbooks for Phonics out there. My daughter was having trouble with spelling but after working in this book, she is not having as many problems as before. She can't wait to get started in the Grade 2 Phonics after she finishes this one!

I am using the Spectrum books to homeschool my 1st and 4th graders. They seem to be working very well for us.

I pick up this book at the book store for my daughter last year. She just started to learn phonics at her pre-school and I thought this might be a great book. She started to recognize consonants/vowels and now she is 4.6 years old and she has finished half of this book. She goes to really academic oriented pre-school, therefore this really works for her. I might say if kids are really eager to learn, then try this book even she or he is 4/5 years old.

I'm homeschooling and I could go on the road with the Spectrum books. After trying several different curriculums, I stumbled across these books in the bookstore. They were an answer to prayer. There is an answer key in the back, so I haven't had to haul around a huge teachers edition. These books, all of them (we homeschool a 1st grader and 3rd grader and we use Spectrum Spelling, Writing, Reading, Language Arts, Vocabulary, Phonics, and Math) are exactly what we needed. My first grader LOVES the reading books. We ordered both, the regular Spectrum, and the one written by Mercer Meyer with the Little Critter characters. Childrens books (especially the ones written at her level) are SO expensive, and these reading books come with so many stories, and they have exercises for reading comprehension. I REALLY can't say enough. One thing I'd like to see them do? Add science and social studies/ history and geography to their mix... art and music while we are at it!!
