Title: Great addition to our homeschool
Review: My fifth grader is a natural reader and speller. That said, I wanted him to spend some time practicing vocabulary and spelling rules as his other curricula become more challenging. This is an easy, quick, daily practice that has worked great for us. It’s quick enough he doesn’t mind it and he’s picking up some word origins that he hasn’t learned much of before this. We will definitely continue using these 180 days studies!

Title: Supplementary Videos Now Available!
Review: Thank you to everyone who's taken the time to review the 180 Days of Spelling and Word Study series. As the creator of these books, I want you to know I appreciate all your kind words and take your suggestions seriously. I'm very excited to announce that I've started creating "kick-off" lessons for each unit and am publishing them for free on my YouTube Channel: 180 Days of Spelling & Word Study w/ Mrs. Rhoades. Each interactive lesson introduces the new word list, draws the viewer's attention to important spelling patterns, rules, and affixes, and provides kid-friendly definitions for the vocabulary. I hope you enjoy the videos as much as my students do!

Title: A must have!
Review: The variety of activities included is impressive, covering everything from analogies and sentence completions to parts of speech, prefixes, suffixes, synonyms, antonyms, and even Greek and Latin roots. This comprehensive approach ensures that my kid gets a well-rounded practice in various language arts skills.One of the standout features of these worksheets is their repetitive structure. This design choice allows him to focus on the words and concepts being presented rather than getting distracted by complex activities. It fosters a sense of familiarity and confidence, which leads to more independent and self-driven practice.These worksheets manage to strike the perfect balance between being fun and engaging while serving a clear purpose in enhancing language skills. The enjoyable activities keep my boy hooked and motivated, making the learning process much more enjoyable.

Title: 180? More like 166 days of spelling...
Review: **UPDATE: I reached out to the publisher with a proof of purchase and they sent over a digital copy with no hassle.**The first picture shows what is left behind when you rip out the perforated pages. I pulled the answers out of the back of the book, so that my son wouldn't be tempted to cheat. The second picture shows how there is nothing left behind from pages being removed. However, you'll notice the book goes from page 96 to page 113, and there were never pages in between.I have the week 15 list and day 1, and then it skips to week 18. It's missing 3 weeks of work!! Considering the cost, I'm a little disappointed. I'm about to check, and hoping that something similar does not happen with the 180 of geography book we are also using.

Review: This is well planned and an easy no prep activity to give to students. The vocabulary is expansive - providing students with words they likely have heard of but do not know their full meaning. Therefore- we study the word lists together and find definitions online as a class. It has helped with their understanding of verbs, adverbs, adjectives, suffixes and prefixes etc. There are only American spellings- for example favourite is spelled “favorite” however I use it as a learning experience. There are 5 days of learning activities. It is a lot to cover in one week, and I have started using it over a period of 10 days.This resource is from 2010- so a bit old but it does cover the basics of spelling using spelling patterns.I only gave it a four out of five stars and I wish there was some teacher prompts and Canadian Spelling.
