Better Spelling in 30 Minutes a Day

Good book

Ich habe dieses Buch meiner Tochter geschenkt, die zwar fließend Englisch spricht, aber Probleme mit der Orthografie hat. Sie ist begeistert, denn mit Hilfe dieses Büchleins lernt man praktisch nebenbei, korrekt zu schreiben. Ich gebe diesen Buchtipp gerne weiter, da wahrscheinlich viele SchülerInnen - genau wie unsere Tochter - mit einer Rechtschreibschwäche in ihrer Muttersprache zu kämpfen haben/hatten und sich dieses Problem bei einer Fremdsprache wiederholt (hat).

Really helped us. It is very detailed. It has tests to take then based on the test results it has you read certain pages to help with what you missed.

The book is ok but it would be way better with more epxlanations on the answer sheets.

There are mistakes in Exercise 1.3, which is pretty much unforgivable for spelling book. However, I've looked high and low, and this is the best book I've been able to find. It's from the 1990s (for college students), so it's a little dated but still relevant. It's laid out well, not super condescending, and the words are ones that I have legitimate trouble with. I learned quite a bit from the instruction and the practices that I either didn't pay attention to in elementary school or was never taught. I've supplemented with a spelling app where I can upload my own word lists... like tenet (can't even google that word!), chauvinism, bureaucratic, etc.
