The Classical Speller, Grade IV: Student Edition

()
About this ebook
A 100-year-old, tried-and-true spelling method. Get back to the classics - Education the way it was for every great man of every generation, from our Colonial forefathers up until about the 1970’s. Then, it was replaced by “Whole Language,” a method that has reduced spelling to its current state (just exchange texts with any teenager for a vivid example).
Obsolete and less-used words have been replaced. Homeschool tested and approved!
The Classical Speller is an invitation to return to a time when people cared about their spelling and everything else they produced. Students following this method will build real self-esteem and pride in a job well done.
Grade IV student edition only. Teacher editions and other levels sold separately.

Isn't it hard to find something good to read sometimes? I know the feeling. It's tough to find a book that's clean, but not boring; with honorable characters with whom you feel a kinship. I am dedicated to creating wholesome, enjoyable books for you and your family, because I create them for my family, as well. If you're expecting to read about how it was always my dream to be a writer, you might be disappointed: I am sort of a reluctant author. My interest in writing grew from my fascination with mostly-forgotten American books of the 19th and early 20th centuries; not so much the great classics, but good dimestore, bread-and-butter-type books. Their material is so incredibly good, and I love the values, but much of it is not suited to the modern reader; so I think of myself as working "post-humorously" with authors of the past, restoring their intent. It's a lot like home renovation - Some will make it historically perfect, others will modernize everything...but some would rather restore the builder's intent, by synthesizing old and new to create something that's just right. Back then, authors felt that it was important to convey this message: It's worth it. All the struggle and the sacrifices we make to maintain our integrity and live with dignity are all worth it. This message is as vital today as ever, and I am honored for this chance to deliver it to you and your family. A New Jersey native and graduate of the Boston University School for the Arts, I now live in coastal New England with my husband, son, daughter, and a greyhound who has 19 lives. I am currently at work on her next book, as well as Classically Gail, my free, one-year online course in Music Appreciation. I may be contacted at either of her blogs, including http://www.classicallygail.blogspot.com
