Spell Buddy Word Study for Grades 2-8

Recommended for homeschooled students and new spellers! BUY ALL FOR ONLY $87 (use drop-down to view pricing!)

Assign and study words that have often shown up in official school spelling bees! Round out your word knowledge with lists of good, vocabulary enriching words and methodically grow your word bank with 20 lessons (or lists of words) per grade level! Spell Buddy is ideal to help field "off-list" words that can be found in higher-level school bees and beyond. Each book contains words that have been ferreted, swapped, and shared among spellers, parents, coaches, and teachers for decades and there are no duplicates, although forms of certain words are repeated on occasion.

Good spelling improves SAT scores (critical for college enrollment) and since we recommend a word foundation of at least 10,000 words, Spell Buddy can pave the way to help reach this goal starting with beginner words and working up to advanced level words in the 6th-8th grade products (total count of all Spell Buddy products is 8,000 words).

Which volumes should I buy? If you are a beginning speller, we recommend starting with your own grade level; intermediate to advanced spellers may prefer to start with a higher grade level volume.*
