Review: Would recommend, even for older children. - I started homeschooling my high school age daughter this year and one of the areas she been behind in is spelling and comprehension. This book, while we don’t do each assignment, has been helping her. I will likely purchase the subsequent grades as we move forward. As a parent I like the answer sheets are very clear. She has said the instructions are very clear and feels like she’s getting the hang of things. Review: Five Stars - exellent book.
