English Spelling

When it comes to learning a new language, studies have actually found that memorizing words doesn't work in the long term. But then, why does the traditional education system still follow this gut-wrenching pattern of memorizing words when it only sets students up for failure? As we keep looking for an answer to that question, it’s time for you to try a new approach - one that will finally stick...

Do you want to help your child improve their spelling skills and win the Spelling Bee? The English language can be tricky to understand. And throw a pandemic and distractions from electronics in the mix, and it becomes obvious that so many children are struggling in school. We want our children to feel confident in their spelling abilities and understand their own language, and that is why we created this audiobook.

This self-teaching instruction workbook helps with pronouncing consonants (including letter blends), vowels (long, short, and vowel groups), and words with multiple syllables; describes the relationship between phonics and spelling; gives examples of tricky proper nouns; and more. This book avoids technical jargon (like diphthongs and phonemes) so that people of all ages and backgrounds can understand the ideas.

Like many people, you’ve probably used idioms or phrases like these without giving them a second thought. But if you were to take a moment to step back and learn about them, you’ll be pleasantly surprised to discover the mesmerizing and sometimes outright bizarre origins to these fun sayings! In Why Do We Say That?, we have curated 202 of the most regularly used idioms, proverbs, turns of phrases, and colloquial terms that have the most fascinating backstories. For each phrase, we explain how it was coined, how its use evolved, and how it gained its contemporary use.

Studies have shown that kids by the age of five who had poor education in their early childhood are not academically or socially ready for school. By fourth grade, the number increases, with 80 percent of poorly educated children reading below grade level.

This spelling bee preparation guide is not only suited for practicing for your child’s upcoming spelling bee, but is also great for any child discovering new words and vocabulary.

Understanding and Drilling Longer Words, book four in the series, focuses on the principles that must be understood in order to comfortably comprehend or speak longer words. These principles include breaking larger words into smaller groups of letters, or letter pairs, and being able to use breath control to comfortably say those letter groups. We'll extensively drill repeated letter pairs in order to be able to say longer strings of letters on a single breath. We'll also look at the precise ways certain letters can be greatly shortened and still efficiently understood.

We will now move from the drills back into more lecture material. We'll introduce new topics, such as intonation, and examine the different tones used for questions and for answers. We'll also go into more detail on topics already introduced, such as glides. Since our goal is both to easily understand other speakers and to speak with clarity and naturalness ourselves, a detailed look at glides, linking, and clean connections is worthwhile. We'll also compare different types of letter pairs to strengthen our ability to hear and say all letter combinations.

Drilling the Letter Pairs from Top to Bottom is the second book in the series. Here, we're going to shift gears from Book 1 in order to get you out of your head and into your body. All of the books in the series contain drills, which must be spoken out loud. But, this audiobook has almost no lecture material. After one chapter with a short explanation, review, and instructions on how to use the drills, the rest of the course is made up entirely of sound, letter, and word drills.
