Includes everything you need to continue to increase reading level in the Skill Development Stage of spelling with 36 lessons of American Spirit: Instructor's Handbook with introduction to the philosophy of Spelling You See, a Getting Started guide, and the Student Pack, which includes two Student Workbooks and a pack of erasable colored pencils.

Students will read about various people and events from American history, with a gradually increasing reading level. At the same time, the emphasis on the mastery of everyday words continues, building a strong foundation for the next stage of spelling.

American Spirit:

• Features nonfiction stories about people and events from American history
• Involves the three core activities for Spelling You See:
  • chunking – provides hands-on experience with the many irregular letter patterns in English
  • copywork – requires the brain to pay attention to details in print
  • dictation – gives an opportunity for student to demonstrate decoding and encoding in a meaningful context
• Gradually increases in reading level, providing opportunities for vocabulary development and allowing students to learn how to spell words in an interesting context
• Includes 36 weekly lessons divided between two books; each lesson has five parts, A through E
