- Words misspelled in the students creative writing
- Words from science or other unit studies
- Most lessons contain a pair of words such as "virtue" & "virtuous" or "confidence" & "confidence" in the lists above. This helps students learn roots, prefixes, and suffixes in context.
- The back of the book contains the Spelling Rules index with the most helpful spelling rules and patterns.
