Develop your student’s spelling, writing, reading, and vocabulary skills with Zaner-Bloser’s Spelling Connections. This extensively researched program teaches common spelling patterns and rules so students learn how to recognize and anticipate syllable types and apply those spelling and syllable patterns to new words at each grade level. Then, new words are used in multiple contexts to expand vocabulary, enhance comprehension, and improve writing. Word Sort activities introduce, practice, and enhance pattern understanding.  There are three options for word lists (Emerging, On Level, and Challenging) so each child’s list can be adjusted based on their performance on the pre-test that is given at the beginning of each unit. Each unit includes approximately 15 minutes of instruction per day supplemented with work that your child completes independently, along with a post-test at the end of each unit. A 3- or 5-Day schedule is available. One spiral-bound softcover, one softcover workbook. Grade 1.

The full-color Student Edition includes 35 units that provide comprehensive daily spelling practice by connecting spelling to thinking, phonics/ vocabulary, reading, and writing through engaging exercises and activities. Handwriting Modules for cursive and manuscript instructions for using a Dictionary and Thesaurus are at the back of the Student Edition for easy reference. Please refer to the Zaner-Bloser Spelling Connections Skills Overview Chart for the skills and concepts covered in this grade level. Non-reproducible, consumable, softcover.

The Teacher Edition provides reduced student pages with answers overlaid, step by step teaching instructions, pretest and posttest words and sentences, and many optional activities.  Directions for following the 3- or 5-Day Plan are printed in each lesson.  Access to the ZB Portal and Digital Tutor is not included. Spiral-bound softcover.
