I was introduced to this in 2006 and it's a work of art. It helps all children with reading and writing if they take it seriously and do the word sorts and games. Fun for MOTIVATED kids :)

Bought this for a college course and like most college books I barely read it (gotten to a point where I post-pone buying textbooks all together). However, the book is useful if utilized properly and offers several resources regarding literacy. Great reference material for anyone interesting in teaching literacy.

I love this book! I want to make sure my students have a solid foundation in phonetics. Some reviewers said the online code wouldn’t work but it did for me. I cannot wait to incorporate this into my classroom schedule!

An interesting approach to assessment of spelling skills and an investigative approach to learning. Beware of American pronunciations- some need to be adapted a little, but not many.

3.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy this--get it from the library!
Reviewed in Canada on February 23, 2017

This is a decent reference book, but definitely look for it at your school rather than buy it. I did like the access code that came with the book so I could enter my students spelling assessments online and have them grouped automatically. However, accessing the Pearson site was ridiculously cumbersome and that subscription only lasted 12 months. I will continue to use the word sorts, but was very disappointed with the poor online access after paying so much for the book.
