Publisher's Synopsis
Appropriate for college-level courses in Spelling Improvement. It is also useful for basic skills courses, writing labs, learning centers, and as a supplement to developmental or freshman.
This popular guidebook helps students eliminate those basic spelling problems that can plague almost any writer. The book stresses words commonly confused, phonics, plurals, capitals, apostrophes, and suffixes. The book's programed format enables readers to proceed at their own pace with the aid of quizzes and subsequent review tests. Motivating and entertaining, it emphasizes drill over theory because it assumes correct spelling must become automatic.
