Spelling Workout, Level F

Difficulty level seems to be just about right for my sharp 6th grade daughter. Each chapter has exercises to hammer the words home that are, for the most part, somewhat fun, and not too long. Can easily do 15 min a day of spelling and have one test a week. Perfect!

I am homeschooling my daughter through middle school. We are in the middle of 7th grade. I really like this spelling program. It is mainly self-directed and includes vocabulary work. My daughter works through it and learns quickly because of its structure. She also actually likes the lesson lead-in stories! (I emphasize this because she's a discerning reader and at first fussed about reading something so simple.) I find I didn't use my teachers edition at all and bought just the student guide for 7th grade.

This is a great series. I found this series through the Well-trained Mind curriculum. Having had my daughter in school for five grades, I found most of the spelling workbooks she brought home relied heavily on the teacher's manuals, thus the workbooks contain nothing but exercises--no descriptions of the spelling rules. The Spelling Workout series allows enough explanation to allow the student to work on her own, with a minimal amount of help from the parent. The book is designed to build on itself, so the student will receive an entire, thorough, complete spelling course throughout one volume. Also, the sixth grade book is challenging enough without being overwhelming. This is a great resource.
