“Three years

ago, another teacher in my

building recommended the spelling

books offered by Evan-Moor. Since

then, I have used Building Spelling Skills

with all my students. As more importance is

placed on developing spelling skills due to the

writing test that all students in the state are

required to take, Building Spelling Skills is

now being used schoolwide!”
