There IS a logical reason for why you can't spell as well as you'd like, and it's not because you are dumb, lazy or not listening in class! This book is designed by a Psychologist who has spent many years helping people like you to understand how they learn best, and assisting people to re-do their learning with dignity!

It is a unique spelling program which starts with the basics and works you through to extending your vocabulary, in a way which makes sense and uses more of your senses! It is based on phonics - hearing the sounds that make up words, and providing you with complete lists of words from which to learn the spelling patterns.

Most importantly, this book utilises your eyes as well as your ears in learning to spell through its unique multisensory format.

> There are activities to help you remember each sound-spelling group.

> You can undertake the spelling survey test so you can determine which types of sounds or spelling combinations you are not very familiar with and just practise these.

> There's a list in the back of all the Spelling Rules which help us know how to construct words.

> This book will enable teachers to follow a complete format for spelling beyond basic letter- sound groups as well as provide a reference text of words to ensure each spelling unit is learned beyond just a few examples.

It's thorough, it's based on sound principles of memory and learning and it stands alone for children or adults alike. It's just what you need!
