Wild Tales continues your student’s journey through the Skill Development stage. Each lesson features a nonfiction passage about a different animal. These passages will allow students to build their vocabulary and learn how to spell in an interesting context.
This level:

• Features carefully researched nonfiction passages about animals. The content introduces non-phonetic and high-frequency words.
• Involves Spelling You See’s core activities:
  • Shared Reading
  • Chunking
  • Copywork
  • Dictation
• Gives students opportunities to show creativity and develop their interest in writing, listening, storytelling, and illustrating on “No Rule Day.”

Wild Tales provides opportunities for students to study words in the context of factual passages about animals. Students mark various letter patterns, copy passages, and produce their own compositions or drawings. They also practice writing the passages from dictation with assistance. This level is for a student who knows letter sounds and can spell many common words correctly.

Universal Set C: Wild Tales: Spelling You See, includes both the Instructors Handbook and the Student Pack

Instructors Handbook: The Instructor's Handbook contains a brief introduction to the philosophy behind Spelling You See and the five development stages of spelling. The handbook contains a "Getting Started" guide with detailed information about each of the five core activities of the program.

Each lesson’s instructions include a “Week at a Glance” chart, details on things to watch for in that lesson, chunking key, and tips and guidance on the lesson’s daily activities. The handbook also includes answers to frequently asked questions.

Student Pack: The Wild Tales Student Pack includes two Student Workbooks and a pack of erasable colored pencils. Each of the 36 lessons is divided into five parts, A through E, that are designed to be completed in 10 to 15 minutes. Each day, the instructor reads the passage together with the student. Students will also "chunk" the appropriate letter patterns and have opportunities for copywork, free writing, and writing from dictation throughout the week.
