How to Teach Every Spelling Pattern Ever: The pal to The Ultimate Scope and Sequence

I finally did it - then forgot to post it here!! I got my first book published in the first 3 weeks of summer holiday. I'm pretty happy with myself, I gotta say!

I wrote something I hope will be an incredibly useful resource for you on a daily basis - a comprehensive scope and sequence with 230 differentiated words lists to use for your spelling and reading teaching.

Hope you love it!
