Spelling Works! Is a structured spelling program for children in years 3-7. It contains sequential and consistently developed spelling activities. Within each book, strategies and skills are introduced and then reinforced in later units. Students become familiar with the most frequently used words while also developing strategies for spelling new words. A teacher can use Spelling Works! As the basis of a thorough spelling programme.

This book focuses on the major strategies including spelling rules, word families, syllabification, proof reading, visual memory, word building and analogy. It includes work on using a dictionary and exercises on blends, compound words, contractions and homophones.

Spelling Works! Also includes a program of exercises in word study and correct usage. When writing, students have to make many decisions that involve choosing base words, adding prefixes and suffixes and then spelling them correctly to create sentences that make sense. Knowing and using the grammatical parts of speech, writing sentences, using punctuation and building on base words are all an integral part of creating meaningful texts.
