This self-teaching instruction workbook, in American English, helps with: spelling vowels (long, short, and vowel groups), spelling consonants (including blends), words with multiple syllables, distinguishing between homophones, examples of tricky proper nouns, challenge spelling lists, and includes several practice exercises. Suitable for all ages, this book avoids technical jargon so that people of all ages and backgrounds can understand the ideas. This makes it handy for ESL students, or anyone who isn’t fluent with the technical vocabulary conventionally used to teach spelling and phonics. --adapted from the publisher.
