Absolutely the only book you will ever need to teach
spelling. Teaching strategies include additional tips for use
with the learning disabled, and word lists are organized by both
sight and sound patterns. Build vocabulary skills with Latin and
Greek roots and word lists, and by using the spelling rules to
add prefixes and suffixes to root words. Choose from among the
suggested activities to include practice with grammar,
dictionary, and composition skills. Phonic, spelling, and
punctuation rules are listed for easy reference. Word lists are
divided by grade, 1 through 8. However, this method is easily
adapted for older students or adults who need remedial work.
Because of its multi-sensory and simplified approach to spelling,
and because each child can work at his own pace, this program is
ideal for students with learning disabilities. Placed
second in the 1999 Practical Homeschooling Reader Awards.

From the Introduction:
© 1989 Kathryn Stout, all rights reserved
The whole point of becoming good at spelling is to write and write
and write some more without having to stop and check the dictionary
every few minutes. Those "natural" spellers have managed to
do, without thinking, what anyone can learn. They have realized that our
words have patterns and rules that can be used to figure out a new word.
Anyone struggling with spelling has probably been trying to memorize
every word letter by letter. Not only are the words likely to be
forgotten within a few weeks, but the entire dictionary would have to be
memorized to be sure you could spell a word! So--what can you do to turn
a poor speller, or just an average speller, into a "natural"
speller? With Natural Speller you can use the units provided, choosing
words or even adding your own. Or you can use the charts and rules to
help you organize your own word lists according to a pattern that the
child can both see and hear.
