Memoria Press is proud to introduce the Traditional Spelling series. It is a comprehensive, phonetic approach to teaching spelling, and is the culmination of our primary Reading & Phonics program. It is designed to follow completion of the Kindergarten Curriculum Package or First Start Reading Books A-D, which ensure students have mastered reading “consonant-vowel-consonant” words with short vowels. Paired with StoryTime and More StoryTime Treasures in first grade, or with the literature study guides in second grade, Traditional Spelling provides your student with an extensive mastery-based study of phonics for spelling and reading. Begin this program with Traditional Spelling I.
Included: Student Workbook, Teacher Manual, Practice Sheets, Supplemental Workbook, Supplemental Workbook Key, and Streaming Instructional Videos
Required Supplements: The Phonics Flashcards and Classical Phonics are required to complete all activities in Traditional Spelling.

What is special about Traditional Spelling I?
- No incorrect words. Students are never given a list of incorrect spelling words and asked to choose the one that is spelled correctly. Incorrect words tend to confuse spellers who are working to master and remember correct spelling, and the visual of an incorrectly spelled word can stick with young readers.
- Color-coded phonograms. The main focus of each lesson is on the phonograms being taught, but all aspects of each word are addressed. In each lesson, students identify consonants and consonant teams/blends with one colored pencil, and vowels and vowel teams with another. This aids in visualization of each word and its phonetic chunks, and makes students better decoders as they begin to see patterns in words.
- Words in context. In addition to workbook activities, each lesson features a short story on the student’s reading level that utilizes that week’s spelling words.
- Sound dictation. Through oral dictation, students practice writing phonograms in isolation, words by themselves, and writing complete sentences containing select list words. These activities auditorily train students to hear phonetic differences and to visually highlight phonetic chunks.
- Vocabulary Building. Students get practice through workbook activities and scheduled skill-building activities with the various meanings of list words

Maxwell Robbins –
This set is wonderful!! The lessons do a great job of reinforcing spelling lists, and the groups of words are similar yet different enough to offer a dynamic spelling lesson each week! The teacher guide is an excellent tool filled with additional ideas that will equip you to ensure these words are thoroughly learned and enjoyed.
Maxwell Robbins –
The reading portions are a little too challenging, in my opinion for the level of the words they are supporting. At least at the beginning.
