The Zaner-Bloser Spelling Connections program provides students with explicit spelling instruction that will help them retain, internalize, and transfer spelling knowledge from their spelling assignments to all areas of life.

Structured around weekly spelling lists, each lesson delivers meaningful instruction and practice opportunities. Word lists are organized so students can see the relationships among words, visually reinforcing valuable pattern- and rule-based instruction. Assessments and reviews, along with integrated standardized test practice, are included to help teachers monitor progress and prepare students for testing.

This Student Edition provides comprehensive daily spelling practice by connecting spelling to thinking, phonics/ vocabulary, reading, and writing through engaging exercises and activities. This workbook also includes "Writer's Workshop" enrichment activities along with "Extend and Transfer" exercises that provide word study opportunities as well as subject-specific context. 36 units, with assessment and review units, are included. Grade 5 students will study vowel sounds oo and yoo, r-controlled vowels ur and ar, vowel diphthongs oi, oy, ou, ow, prefixes pre-, re-,post-, and co-, compound words, commonly confused words, and more.

The Teacher's Edition includes step-by-step lesson plans, weekly test options, and activities for daily differentiated instruction.

• Student Edition, 336 pages, softcover, with index, student dictionary, and student thesaurus at the back of the book. Non-reproducible; consumable workbook. Grade 5.
