How do children best learn to spell? Research says it takes more than just rote memorization and drill. Activities with a purpose are the key! And what better purpose than learning Scripture values?

Scripture Verses & Values

Every weekly lesson begins with a story — a contemporary theme story that develops key principles found in that week’s Scripture verse. Daily lessons continue to build on this theme and help make learning to spell FUN! In addition, A Reason For Spelling® encourages regular personal writing activities in a values-based setting. This gives children a meaningful context for focusing on correct spelling.
