Spelling for Minecrafters: Grade 4

My nine year old is the target audience for this book: he really loves Minecraft and really struggles with spelling. This is a high quality workbook full of interesting, engaging activities. The book groups spelling patterns together in a way that makes sense. For example, there's a section on -ought and -aught words, and a section on -ea words. My son doesn't resist at all when it's time to work in the book, and he stays focused for the whole practice session. The only thing I'd change, if I could, is that I'd make the book longer, with more opportunities to practice each word groupings. It is very short, and he's working through it quickly.

Let me preface this review.... we are first year homeschoolers.My 3rd grader has dyslexia, dysgraphia, and ADHD. He is a seriously, reluctant reader, writer and speller because he struggles. HE LOVES MINECRAFT! It totally makes sense to combine his love with something he doesn't really enjoy all that much. Spelling for Minecrafters has been a life saver for us! We work in this workbook every other day to practice reading and spelling. This is helping to build his confidence, while also keeping him entertained.This is a winner in our homeschool, and we have purchased other Minecrafters workbooks Writing for Minecrafters and Math Word Problems for Minecrafters! I am a lifelong fan of this author and publisher! Many thanks from a tired mama of three! I purchased both Grade 3 and Grade 4 workbooks.Pros:Minecraft theme including pictures, words, character names, and ideasBuilds upon skillsColorfulGreat quality printed materialsVariety of subjects and grades for Minecrafters of all ages/skillsCons:Nothing that I can think of. I cannot sing enough praises for this workbook for my struggling speller.

I bought this for my 9 yo daughter and she absolutely loves this workbook. Learning should be fun and this workbook has been perfect for her.

My son always needs more spelling practice, but as a kinesthetic learner he responds better to word ladders and activities like this. He is excited to use this book over the summer instead of more "boring" options. Knocked off a star because our book arrived damaged. It has burns and tears on the cover and edges like it got stuck in a machine. My son doesn't mind, so we'll use it as is, but I wouldn't be able to gift it in this state.

We just finished this book and my daughter loved doing this!! We needed a supplement to our homeschool language arts, because it didn't focus a lot on spelling. The pages are colorful and my daughter actually wanted to do it!!! The activities include word ladders, picking out the misspelled words, crosswords, word scrambles, word finds, fill in the blank, matching and even using vocabulary words to write letters to the Minecraft creator. It also has the classic "copy the word, take a spelling test" method. All lessons are themed to Minecraft and have fun images on each page. Cannot recommend enough. Wish there was a version for 5th Grade!!!

My daughter has really enjoyed learning with a Minecraft theme.

This book is exactly what my 4th grader needed. I love that the workbook uses different spelling words and different techniques for the spelling words. My 4th grader is more willing to learn because it's all minecraft.

My daughter needed some help with spelling and she is very hard to keep focused and on task when it comes to schoolwork. This book came and she immediately started working on her own and required little prompting. She works on it a little everyday and I couldn’t be happier.

Great variety of spelling, grammar and writing activities. We use this book often for home learning. Covers a good variety of writing topics using fun minecraft characters. Love the colourful images and text.

Made learning a bit more interesting for someone who dislikes school!I’d love if there were higher grades (middle school) as well.

Awesome book my kids love doing school work now.
