This charming work text is designed to precede the My Catholic Speller series and would be appropriate for most First Graders. The book provides 27 two page lessons with six spelling words each. Spelling words include some Catholic words as well as the basics. Lessons provide opportunities for simple writing exercises (on appropriate sized writing lines with dotted center-lines as well as simple exercises in matching words and pictures, finding rhyming words, making up sentences, finding hidden words, simple alphabetization, etc. List words are grouped by vowel sounds, phonograms and simple spelling rules. The Introduction provides a simple outline for completing a lesson each week and a segment at the end of the book entitled "Presenting the Lesson" gives teaching tips and ideas for each lesson. The book also comes with an alphabet on heavy cardstock to cut out for a simple way that children can start putting letters together into words.

This third grade spelling workbook incorporates fun word searches, crossword puzzles and other puzzles into gentle spelling lessons while elegantly tying in Catholic content. Dictionary work, fill-in-the blanks and some traditional spelling practice are also included.

This is the first book in the series to offer short biblical quotations in most lessons that can be used for memory or copywork and are coordinated with a segment for apologetics lessons in the back of the book, called "Scriptural Answers for Every Catholic Kid". For example, week twenty offers this quotation: "...but of that day or hour, no one knows, not even the angels in Heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father..." (Mark 13:32) The segment in back is a little more extensive:

Week Twenty: Jesus' Return False teaching: Numerous cult leaders have set dates, most of which have come and gone, for Jesus' return. Counter with: "...but of that day or hour, no one knows, not even the angels in Heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father..." (Mark 13:32)

An answer key is included in the back of the book. The book offers 34 weekly lessons, including a review lesson for each quarter.
