Connecting Spelling Rules to Reading and Writing Grade 2 Teacher’s Edition includes units that explicitly teach the major spelling rules for most English words. The systematic organization of the textbook makes it easy to follow and is an effective way to teach spelling. The Teacher’s Edition consists of a manual, a Teacher’s Word Box, and a CD with blackline masters for reinforcement and enrichment activities and the Parent Rule Cards. The Parent Rule Cards, which have both the rules and the words for the week on them, should be sent home weekly.
