INTRODUCTION Spelling Steps teaches students to spell the words they need for life situations. The vocabulary is drawn largely from a list developed from an analysis of adult reading materials including newspapers, magazines, novels, scientific journals, and other media. The four-binder spelling program is based on a careful plan for teaching spelling skills. It ensures that students not only learn to spell the vocabulary words presented, but also master the skills needed to learn to spell new words in the future. Each student progresses through the program at his or her own rate. Students may grade their own lesson tests and record their scores. This method is recommended for older students and independent study. Each unit concludes with a review lesson and a unit test. The format for unit tests is left open so that teachers may adapt the test to the needs of each student. The teacher may select which words to include and may determine the length and style of the unit test. Spelling Steps includes a wide variety of learning activities designed to reinforce and extend spelling skills. Attention is given to providing learning activities that are of interest to middle, secondary, and adult students.

About Checking and Recording Teachers are encouraged to have students check their answers after completing each lesson. Students may record their scores on the Record of Progress chart for each unit review, beginning with Unit 3, Book 1. To allow students to check their own work, the answer keys may be reproduced and distributed. A completed progress chart can be helpful for diagnosing a student’s strengths and weaknesses. Parents might also like to see how progress is monitored. The process of self-checking, scoring, and monitoring is for analysis by both student and teacher to determine which skills need greater reinforcement. Following the answer keys and individual student progress chart, a class progress chart is provided to help track up to 30 students’ progress through the book. Finally, there is a reproducible certificate of achievement that can be awarded to students when a book is completed.

PRETEST

At the beginning of most of the spelling lessons in Spelling Steps 3, you will take a pretest. This will show you how many words you already know how to spell. Before you do this lesson, have someone call out the Everyday Spelling Words and the Skill-Building Words. Write the words on notebook paper. Check your spelling. When you study the spelling words at the end of this lesson, study only the words you missed on this pretest. Now, answer the questions about the Everyday Spelling Words, even if you already know how to spell many of them. Then answer the questions about the Skill-Building Words, even if you know how to spell many of them, too. Always answer all the questions in each lesson.

1. Underline each Everyday Spelling Word in the following sentences. Notice that these words are about making purchases and applying for credit. a. The motel clerk asked, “Will you pay your bill with cash, or will you use a credit card?” b. The bank will not finance a loan for me until it checks my credit rating. c. The minimum payment on the balance I owe the store is $12.50. d. In my household budget, half of my paycheck goes to pay for food and rent.

Many words are made up of a base word and a prefix. Base words carry meaning. Prefixes change the meaning of the base word. A prefix is always at the beginning of a word.

➤ Words can also be made up of a base word and a suffix. A suffix also changes the meaning of the base word. A suffix is always at the end of a word.

6. A prefix is always at the _________________________ of a word. 7. A suffix is always at the_________________________ of a word.

➤ The suffixes -er and -est are in common words. Sam is 18 years old. Susan is 25 years old. She is older than Sam. Older means “more old than” one other person or thing. Carlos is 40 years old. Carlos is the oldest of the three. Oldest means “the most old” of all persons or things being compared. Mrs. Friedman has a large car. Mr. Smith has a larger car. Larger means “more large” than one other thing or person. Mrs. Gomez has the largest car of the three. Largest means “the most large” of all things or persons being compared.

➤ The suffix -er is used to compare two things. Colder means “more cold” than one other person or thing. Cleaner means “more clean” than one other person or thing. Harder means “more hard” than one other thing.

➤ The suffix -est is used to compare more than two things. Coldest means “the most cold” of all the things being compared. Cleanest means “the most clean” of all the things being compared. Hardest means “the most hard” of all the things being compared.
