Features of Apples Daily Spelling Drills for Secondary Students
Weekly Lessons:
- Introduce a spelling rule (called a clue) to study for the entire week.
- Apply the rules to puzzles, fill-in-the-blank, complete-the-Bible-verse exercises.
- Teach your student to recognize misspelled words in sentences with carefully controlled vocabulary and specific rules.
- Provide practice to aid memorization of words that do not follow a rule (especially long-vowel words).
- Incorporate innovative, real-life exercises such as check writing (for the spelling of numbers) and addressing envelopes (for common abbreviations and punctuation in addresses).
- Reinforce some lessons from Apples 1 (about 1/3 of the book repeats difficult rules from the previous year – giving poor spellers the valuable reinforcement they need)
- Introduce several new phonics rules.
- Help your student memorize the spellings of common words in a low-stress, non-threatening manner.
It includes everything you need—even a convenient answer key and a helps section. Apples 2 is easy to use—only 10 minutes a day. There are no extensive lists or tests to further demoralize the poor speller—just application of spelling rules in an encouraging Scripture-sentence-or-puzzle.
