This Teacher's Guide for Books 5 to 8 of the You Can Spell series is an indispensable and practical aid to teachers in achieving the initial goal of the programme - providing children with a sound technique for learning to spell, and for mastering the spelling of the 1110 high-frequency words in the 90 lists.
In addition to supplying the answers to all the activities and word puzzles in the pupils' books, the Teacher's Guide provides the teacher with both a theoretical background to the spelling programme and valuable administrative resources, including:
- letter models to brief parents on the You Can Spell programme such as a word-building sheet and photocopiable master of the puzzle grids in the students books;
- a progress graph for each Mastery Set;
- spelling diplomas;
- teachers' workplans and pupil record sheets, and
- dictation exercises appropriate to each level of spelling attainment.
