Here is the complete Grade 7 Spelling course, Spelling by Sound and Structure:

• Pupil Textbook
• Teacher's Manual

34 lessons. Each lesson includes a list of 20 "New Words" and 5 "Review Words," except every sixth lesson, which is completely review.

The main emphasis of this course is the study of Latin word elements--roots, prefixes, and suffixes. Learning to spell is the primary goal throughout, and the meanings of roots and affixes are helpful in expanding a student's vocabulary.

Each lesson also has a review section that exercises phonetic and word-building concepts covered in earlier grade levels of this series. The last section of each lesson gives a brief history of the English language, providing some of the reasons for the modern spellings, pronunciations, and meanings of many English words.

A "Speller Dictionary" is included at the back of the book.
