This review of Spelling Power includes a comparison with Phonetic Zoo and My Catholic Speller.
Spelling Power is a single volume, non-consumable resource for teaching spelling to children (and adults) of all ages. It includes over 5,000 spelling words organized by rule and difficulty level, dozens of activities to help the child remember the correct spelling, extensive notes explaining how and why the program was designed and a clear explanation of how the program is to be used.
Seton Home Study has published a full line of Catholic spelling texts. Unfortunately, we have a difficult time providing reviews because we wish only to review the most recent editions and Seton revises their books frequently. You may view sample pages of these books on Seton's Website.
The Phonetic Zoo is an auditory (CD) based spelling program that includes at each level 5 Audio CD's (540 rule-based spelling words), 47 5 ½"x 8 ½" flashcards teaching the most important spelling rules and similar set of 2 �" x 3 5/8" (illustrated) zoo cards, an introductory DVD, and a pamphlet that explains the basics of the program.
