Skill Sharpeners: Spell & Write, Grade 4 runs twelve units, each one built on eight new words and the spelling pattern holding them together.

Good to know

Words show up inside a story first, never as a list to memorize, so the pattern gets met before it has to be reproduced.

The patterns are the useful part: ie and ei, igh, ou and ow, oi and oo, double consonants, long u, and contractions.

What's inside

Matching, blanks to fill, grammar and punctuation work, creative writing, then a Test Your Skills page closing out every unit.

Tutors report running it across third and fourth grade without a child losing interest, which for a spelling book is most of the battle.
