Book Reviews of Painless Spelling (Barron's Painless)
Book Review: There Is More to Spelling Than Meets The Eye!
Summary: 5 Stars
To be quite honest, I couldn't imagine spelling has a lot to do with pronunciation before. The author clearly associates each letter pattern with each vowel sound.(e.g./u; o as in woman, ou as in could, oui as in bouillon, u as in bull, oo as in wood) It sounds like a real cliche, but practice makes perfect; you'll get used to it once you get the pattern indicated in this book! The same is also true of prefixes(pre-, post-, re-, dis-, ex-, etc.) and suffixes(-ed, -tion, -er, -or, -ee, etc.). Both will help you strengthen your vocabulary-building if you know what they mean.
Again, practice makes perfect!!
Summary of Painless Spelling (Barron's Painless)
The author points out ways in which recognizing sound and letter patterns makes spelling easier. Also important are recognition of diphthongs, silent letters, compound and abbreviated words, contractions, homophones, homographs, prefixes, suffixes, and base words. "Brain tickler" problems challenge students' imaginations and test their learning progress.Barron's popular Painless Series of study guides for middle school and high school students offer a lighthearted, often humorous approach to their subjects, transforming details that might once have seemed boring or difficult into a series of interesting and mentally challenging ideas. Most titles in the series feature many fun-to-solve "Brain Tickler" problems with answers at the end of each chapter.
