Evan Moor Educational Publishers Building Spelling Skills Grade 4

I like this book but did not realize Evan Moor makes a separate student edition consumable that is more cost effective for a homeschooler vs someone purchasing this for reproduction. Next time I will be ordering the $8.99 book. It is advertised in the inside of this book and is much cheaper.

I use these for homeschool, my kids write right in the book. They are a great time-saver for teachers as all the work and activities are there, already made. We do a page a day, and on Friday is the spelling test. My child finds most words at the right level to feel successful. There are a few harder words, too, plus room to print your own challenge words. Overall, a great resource.

too many words per week (20, I think) for my daughter (8) who does not enjoy spelling. It's very well organised on 5 days a week, the concept is good.

Really great book for your kids. Easy for them to follow and online with what they are learning in school

I appreciate the variety of words, as it covers some similar sounding words and challenges student to know the difference, as well as identify patterns. The lessons are well thought out and lessons are presented very straightforward, so thankfully I didn’t need to hover to teach. There are parts to practice copying words, then writing from memory, then matching them with their meaning (in various ways, sometimes mix n match, crossword puzzle), and using them in a sentence. Sometimes you fill in missing letters, syllables, Latin roots, or other variations. It’s great for etymology. My son doesn’t love this because it’s still homework in his mind (purchased grade 4), but he doesn’t hate it because it’s actually pretty straightforward and quick, despite his perfectionism that can be time-consuming. I highly recommend these spelling books.
