Description

Develop your student’s spelling, writing, reading, and vocabulary skills with Zaner-Bloser’s Spelling Connections. This program teaches common spelling patterns and rules so students can recognize and anticipate syllable types and apply those patterns to new words at each grade level. New words are used in multiple contexts to expand vocabulary, enhance comprehension, and improve writing. Word Sort activities introduce and enhance pattern understanding. There are three options for word lists (Emerging, On Level, and Challenging) so each child’s list can be adjusted based on their performance on the pre-test given at the beginning of each unit. Each unit includes approximately 15 minutes of instruction per day, supplemented with independent work and a post-test at the end of each unit. A 3- or 5-Day schedule is available.

The full-color Student Edition includes 35 units that provide comprehensive daily spelling practice by connecting spelling to thinking, phonics/vocabulary, reading, and writing through engaging exercises and activities. Handwriting Modules for cursive and manuscript instructions, as well as instructions for using a Dictionary and Thesaurus, are located at the back of the Student Edition for easy reference. Please refer to the Zaner-Bloser Spelling Connections Skills Overview Chart for the skills and concepts covered at this grade level. Access to the ZB Portal and Digital Tutor is not included. This item is only available for purchase by homeschools located in the USA and Canada.
