Learn to Spell 500 Words a Day is a book in 6 volumes: A, E, I, O, U, and Consonants. Vowels rule English and they cannot be avoided.

Every sound and spelling pattern of the vowel "i" is presented in this book, as in these examples: Short i: Jim, gym] Long i: night, sign, child, die, dye, type, icon, by, bypass] Minor sounds of i: bikini, onion, mission, vision, soldier] Schwa sound of i: credible, analyst]. The Vowel I book contains 62 comprehensive and detailed phonics-based spelling lessons. Each lesson begins with a logical spelling rule, followed by a list of nearly all the words that follow that rule, followed by a nonsensical story that contains most of the listed words, and then students are asked to read aloud slowly to memorize the spelling of hundreds of words at a time. Sample of the nonsensical stories to memorize phonics in words: Lyle has a nice style. Lyle takes enzymes mixed with thyme. Lyle types 90 WPM. Lyle needs to analyze before he can memorize. Lyle and Kyle's names rhyme. Lyle and Kyle do not stereotype people. Kyle cares for a tyke-paralyzed dog. Etc.

The message of this book enables children to be aware of potential danger as well as how to communicate and respond in a time of crisis." --Darrell Scott, Founder and President of Rachel's Challenge "All schools are safe havens for students but it is critically important for students to report threatening behavior from classmates and to take proper steps when their safety is at risk from outside intruders.

It's amazing how much kids go through growing up. Naturally many parents find it difficult to cope when their child is becoming troublesome or troubled with high school looming or having just begun. Fortunately help is at hand thanks to this cartooned true story based on the school diaries found in the Author's long forgotten buried treasure chest. This character building book covers a vast range of topics such as rejection, self esteem issues and cyber bullying. It looks at pertinent modern confrontations for children such as divorce, career parents, having one parent that works away and the all time classic...sibling rivalry. The Handbook teaches the virtues of good sportsmanship and such simple yet often lost "treat others the way you would like to be treated" techniques as blending into a multiculturally diverse school with an odd name and accepting different races and religions in the same way you would visit different restaurants Rent and mortgage burdened parents will welcome the subject covered in depth of how a child can help the family budget by using practical conservation techniques. The Handbook for School Kids is unique in its meaty dialogue with the really tough issues such as kids starting to play with fire, making home made bombs, skipping school, lying, smoking, stealing, doing drugs and graffiti. The Author gives a first hand account of his time in juvenile prison which is sure to make kids think twice if they are already heading the wrong way in life. Many kids will also enjoy learning how to understand the practical side of math, how to improve their literacy and how to learn to dream and then turn those dreams into achievable goals. |
