In Building Spelling Skills Daily Practice, Grade 3, students will learn 15 spelling words per week (450 total). Three sentences for dictation are provided for each list.
Spelling lists include the following:
contractions blends vowel sounds prefixes and suffixes compound words words with silent letters and homophones consonant digraphs
There's nothing special to this spelling curriculum to me, however my son absolutely loves it. It's the first subject he wants to do each day.
Can't say enough!

I love this book (what else can I say?)! Each lesson has different reinforcement tools to help your child remember spelling rules. The lists are age-appropriate; and while challenging, this book has proven to be the only one I've used that has given my child a sense of success in spelling (not his strong suit to begin with). My only regret is that I didn't find this book until 3rd grade!
Finally a "Spelling Book" that Fits!

My school did away with the traditional spelling books last year and we have been creating every activity and homework piece this year. It has been a lot of work with few things being fun and often tedious. I piloted this book for three weeks with my students and they welcomed the change. They liked the varied activities and the challenges it provided. As the teacher, I like the natural progression of the lists. It fits in with my language arts curriculum with ease. It begins with simple vowel sounds and moves to the more complex then adding higher level spelling patterns third graders need to know. I can't wait to begin my school year next year so I can use it again.
