Hi Katy,
Almost everyone will find my book Using the Brain to Spell a valuable resource because it contains numerous enjoyable activities that will help children and even adults grow not only in spelling ability but also in all communication skills. The focus is on HOW children should be taught, the essence of which is to make learning fun! Check out my web site brain to spell.com to find out more. I am excited about having my book published, one that I started working on in graduate school way back in 1988 and then as a teacher-researcher in my 7th grade classes for the next 11 years. Sally
