How do children best learn to spell? Research says it takes more than just
rote memorization and drill. Activities with a purpose are the key! And
what better purpose than learning Scripture values.
Scripture Verses & Values
Every weekly lesson begins with a story - a contemporary theme story that
develops key principles found in that week’s Scripture verse. Daily
lessons continue to build on this theme and help make learning to spell
FUN! In addition, A Reason For Spelling® encourages regular personal
writing activities in a values-based setting. This gives children a
meaningful context for focusing on correct spelling.
