Cordelia & Mer and the WITCHES OF ICE -Book One: Gloom Review"Long live the Merryspells" explains the feeling after reading WITCHES OF ICE - Book One: Gloom. Romping thru Witchdom with Cordelia and Mer makes one wish they WERE a Merryspell and lived in their world.
The first installment of WITCHES OF ICE has all the accoutrements necessary for a rollicking good fantasy story: good, evil, magic, love and witches! Tromping thru Witchdom with the Cheeky Cordelia and Magical Mer, we become acquainted with their friends, foes and the magical community.
This story will appeal to all fans of fantasy and magic, just as the Harry Potter phenomenon bridged the generations. I plan on reading this book again in October to get "in the spirit" of Samhain/Halloween! So, as the first book ends dramatically, I am hopefully awaiting future adventures with Mer & Cordelia Merryspell.Cordelia & Mer and the WITCHES OF ICE -Book One: Gloom OverviewA strangetranslucent book, a coven of deadly witches, the mysterious 'Darkington Chalice', Ms.Starch-Stiffington's weird school for witches, the peculiar 'Room of Draws', an Underground Train to'The Crystal Palace of Death', an Unfair-Funfair of excitement and extremedanger; and a visit to the deathly Forestof Gloom.

The Spelling Book: Teaching Children How to Spell, Not What to Spell ReviewI bought this book for a grad. class for Reading Specialists. It is an amazing resource for anyone who teaches spelling. It explains why we need to teach children HOW to spell (giving them strategies and skill in spelling) rather than having them memorize a word list every week. The theory is well explained and makes great sense! The strategies given are easily applicable to any classroom. If you are looking to get away from spelling lists and move to individualized spelling this book will effectively guide your transition.The Spelling Book: Teaching Children How to Spell, Not What to Spell Overview

Fairy Realm #9: The Peskie Spell Review[note: this review was dictated to me by my seven year old daughter who has read most of this series. Mostly her mother has been reading this series to her for a couple of years but now she's old enough to read (or re-read!) them herself. We now own the whole series.]
"I really liked when they walked on the Ribbon Road to Dally Glade to get the Sky-Mirror flower. This book in number nine in the series and it is my second favorite book in the series. My first favorite "The Third Wish" -- the third book in the series.
I think lots of girls will like this series because it is magical and there are lots of fairies, unicorns and elves."Fairy Realm #9: The Peskie Spell Overview

Miss Pell Would Never Misspell and Other Painless Tricks for Memorizing How to Spell and Use Wily Words (Adventures in Memory) ReviewSometimes certain spelling words can be mighty tricky, but if you pay careful attention to some of the hints in this book, you might just have an easier time remembering some of them. One way many people learn how to spell words or remember facts is by using mnemonics. A mnemonic is "a fancy word given to little tricks or devices that help us remember important facts." Some devices actually make up a word by using the first letters of the word we are trying to remember. For example when you are trying to remember the names of the great lakes you'll have an easier time if you can remember the word "HOMES."
Learning to visualize pictures can also help you remember a word or words. In this book hopefully you will be able to utilize some of these little "tricks" or discover your own unique way of remembering things. There are two "Spell It Right" sections, A-M and N-Z, that present some very tricky words. For example, when you want to spell the compound word "background," it just might "be easier if you remember that it's a combination of two words." It isn't backround! There's the visual of a dog with highlighted words pointing to his back and to the ground to keep in your mind's eye when you have to spell background.
Of course if you think about the word "misspell," you only need to think about Miss Pell, because "She would never misspell `misspell.'" You'll also learn about how to use certain words that many kids think are one: a lot, all right, and no one. Do you know when to use the words fewer and less? There are a couple of easy ways you can remember how to use in order to figure it out. You'll also learn about many homophones, "words that are pronounced the same but have different spellings and different meanings." Do you know when and how to use the words capital and capitol? You will when you've finished reading this book!
This book presents a fun and easy way to learn to use an assortment of devices to learn to spell difficult words. One of the most striking things about this book is the zany artwork that provides a stepping stone for the visually oriented student to work with. For example, when providing a few tricks to learn how to spell the word "roommate," there is a picture of two roomies sitting on a couch, each with the letter M on their shirts (MM). There are many words included in the first two sections that often stump grownups as well. License, rhythm, dessert, and potatoes are among them. In the back of the book is an index, a glossary, and additional recommended book and website resources to explore. This would be an excellent kid reference to add to any classroom, homeschool, or library shelves!

N-O Spells No (Hello Reader Level 2) ReviewI think it's kind of interesting because this girl named Kate always says, "No!" to everything her mom says. In the end it's kind of funny that she says "No!" to everything. I don't think it's a good thing to say "No!" to everything, though, but I thought it was a funny book.N-O Spells No (Hello Reader Level 2) Overview

How Do You Spell God ReviewI absolutely LOVE this book! The loving way that these two wonderful men compare and contrast the major religions of the world is beautiful. I think it should be required reading for children AND adults! I ordered several copies to give as gifts to many young people in my life. I can't wait to share this informative and thought provoking book with them. What an incredible step towards tolerance and embracing the different ways we all worship God. Thank you Mssrs. Gellman and Hartman, you have truly blessed us with this book.How Do You Spell God Overview
