Two Ways to Provide the Forms Your Student Needs

You will find all the forms your student will need to properly use the Spelling Power program are available in two formats. First, you will find masters for all the different forms in the On-line Teacher’s Resource Site. You can also purchase them as complete Student Record Books from your home education supplier. Both the forms and record books are available in three color-coded line types and sizes. The “Blue” forms are wide-ruled line spacing with a dashed mid-line. The “Green” forms are college-ruled lines with a dashed mid-line. The “Yellow” forms are a college-ruled line spacing without a dashed mid-line.

How to Make Do-It-Yourself Booklets Using On-Line Masters

If you choose to print your own student books, it is easiest if you print the Daily Test Sheets and the 10-Step-Study Sheets back-to-back. The forms should be printed in light blue lines so your student's handwriting stands out on the page. After printing the forms, three-hole punch them and create a “record book” by inserting them into a three-prong style notebook. This “record book” should include forms for the Survey Tests, Placement Tests and Writing Sample at the front of your record book. Include several copies of the Delayed Recall Tests and End-of-Level Tests at the end of the book. You also should add a Progress Chart on the back cover of your book. Your home-made record book should not exceed 68 sheets of paper. More pages than this causes your student’s hand to be at an awkward angle when writing.

Spelling Power Student Record Books Will Save You Time and Money

Many parents find Spelling Power's Student Record Books are more time and cost effective than creating a home-made booklet using the provided masters. Student Record Books are available in the same line styles and sizing as detailed above. You will save the cost of toner and paper, plus the wear and tear on your printer. They save you time because all the forms needed to complete one level of Spelling Power are provided in one neatly bound booklet. They allow you to be completely ready to go the first day of school!

The forms are organized so the first Daily Test form is on the right-hand page, the facing left-hand page is the 10-Step-Study sheet to be used the same day. This arrangement allows you to sit to the left of your student as you complete the retest of his study words the next day. You don’t have to mark up your Spelling Power manual. No other record of study words is necessary, since they are already listed in his Student Record Book. Once your student understands how to use the 10-Step-Study sheets he can work independently, freeing you to work with another student or prepare for another lesson. The inside back cover of the Student Record Books provide him quick reminder on how he should study his words.

As your student completes groups, he records his progress on the progress chart on the back cover. This gives you a quick way to see where each of your students is working, eliminating your needing to leaf through the pages of each student’s record book to find his group number. This makes assigning individual and group skill-building activities easier. Use the space on your student’s next 10-Step-Study Sheet to assign his skill-building activities.

When a level is completed, you may choose to start a new record book or continue on with the next level until the record book is completely full. Some families really like the ease of having all of a student’s spelling work in the neatly bound books.
