Wild Tales will continue your student's journey through the skill development stage of spelling. For the first seven weeks, your student will continue to work with the nursery rhyme theme from Jack and Jill before transitioning into nonfiction passages about animals beginning in Lesson 8. Students will read a passage with the instructor each day. Guided reading helps readers of all ability levels become familiar with the passage. Students will also "chunk" the appropriate letter patterns indicated for that day's lesson and will have opportunities for copywork, free writing, and writing from dictation throughout the week.

In Wild Tales, your child will:

• Reads interesting nonfiction passages about animals
• Reads the passage with the instructor each day. Guided reading helps readers of all ability levels become familiar with the passage
• “Chunks” the appropriate letter patterns indicated for that day’s lesson
• Will have opportunities for copywork, free writing, and writing from dictation throughout the week

Is Your Child Ready for Wild Tales?

This level is suggested for a student who knows letter sounds and spells many common words correctly. Take the Spelling You See Assessment for more information on placing your student in the correct level.

Wild Tales will provide opportunities for students to study words in the context of factual passages about animals. Students will mark various letter patterns, copy passages, and produce their own compositions or drawings. They will also practice writing the stories from dictation with assistance.
