After an Introduction to Sounds, Symbols, and Letters, Basic Everyday Spelling Workbook covers one-syllable words with very common, easily predictable spellings. After presenting and providing practice in the letters for each sound separately, it compares and contrasts them in step-by-step, illustrated exercises.  Next comes a large variety of activity types, including puzzles, games and stories. There are chapters called "Short Vowels," "Long Vowels," "Final Silent -e," "Consonants," "Other Vowel Sounds," "More Consonant Spellings," and "Combinations of Consonants," as well as Review Lessons. The text ends with 4 Progress Tests and a Final Spelling Test.  All the auditory material marked with an Ear Logo is on two 90-minute CDs. The accompanying Instructors' Manual includes a Tapescript, an Answer Key, instructions for use of the text, ideas for remedial and beyond-the-text activities, and more.

Practical Everyday Spelling Workbook reviews the Basic material of the previous text before continuing word-level phonics/spelling instruction at a higher level.  In addition to the most common spellings for each sound, it introduces, practices, and tests mastery of less frequent, unusual, and exceptional letter combinations in one-syllable vocabulary. There are lessons entitled "Homophones," "Compound Words," "Multi-Syllable Words," Vowels Before -r," and "Silent Consonants"; 3 Review Lessons, 5 Progress Tests, and a Final Spelling Test; 3 CDs for auditory material; and a complete Instructors' Manual with the features of the Basic IM and more.
