Day 1 begins with a read-aloud story to engage the students and introduce the topic and theme Scripture text for the week, then moves on to a preview exercise to gauge which of the weekly spelling words need the most practice. Throughout the week, students complete various activities and games to help master the spelling words and underlying concepts. The week concludes with a post-test to demonstrate progress.

Note: The weekly theme Scripture text in A Reason For Spelling Level A corresponds with the same week’s verse in A Reason For Handwriting Level A, thus reinforcing the Scripture values found in each lesson.
