Practise makes perfect in just ten minutes a day!There is nothing more important than your child’s education, but sometimes it’s difficult to find the time to squeeze everything in. Part of the best-selling Carol Vorderman “Made Easy” home-learning workbooks, the 10 Minutes a Day series fits in around busy lives.Aimed at ages 7 to 11, Spelling covers a range of subjects, from prefixes and syllables through nouns and verbs to apostrophes and common endings. Every subject is clearly introduced so children can complete the exercises on their own or under guidance. For the eager student, there are extra challenges on every page if they finish the questions within 10 minutes, or if they want to carry on practising.Answers are also provided so there’s no need to worry if you don’t know your “ei” from your “ie” or your hyphens from your homophones – everyone can learn at home together!

Not good for teaching; terrible for practice.
I’m a linguist with 15+ years teaching experience and 4 years experience in materials design. Trust me when I say that this book is mostly useless.It doesn’t teach how to spell words. Rather, it assumes that the learner already knows how to spell. For example, an activity might present pictures of a bear, a pear, a hare, and a square and ask the learner to spell the words. It thus assumes that the learner already knows that bear and pear end in -ear, but square and hare end in -are.Ok fine, maybe the goal is fluency practice? No. Each activity involves spelling each word exactly one time in only one context. Fluency would require expanding context with plenty of repetition. None of that here at all.I can imagine this book being useful in one situation – you want to teach your kid to spell, but don’t have the background knowledge to know what to focus on. In that case, the book does indeed present kids with a good set of important spelling contrasts in age-appropriate words.Honestly though, you’d be better off just giving your kid a blank sheet of paper and asking them to copy words from their other books until the page is full. Boring? Of course! But infinitely better for them and a lot cheaper.

Homeschool Misery
This book is not a very good teaching tool. My daughter (age 11, 5th grade, and reading at a highschool level) and I (a former valedictorian & college graduate) find this book confusing and frustrating. The only reason I am having her stick with it is to teach her perseverance through tough stuff.

Not our favorite
Thought this would have a lists of spelling words 4th grades should learn. Instead it was more of an language arts book. Daughter and I felt like the instructions are a little confusing/ didn’t give enough explanation. Would not by again.

NOT American English. This is British English
BEWARE – this is British English, not American English. I feel this should be stated somewhere for the consumer to know before purchasing. This will cause confusion for American students and it’s not necessarily obvious for parents. However, this will be clear with spellings like “recognise” instead of “recognize” or “programme” instead of “program”. I would not have purchased this book if this was made clear. Very deceiving.

Not a teaching book, Not sure how kids learn with this one. Glad I could Return it.
The book failed big for my student because it never actually shows you how the spelling words are suppose to be written its a quess what letters are missing technique that never reveals to the student if they get it wrong until you correct their work. Big fail in my home school curriculum.
