No Boring Practice, Please! Spelling4
magine a classroom where students do not slump in theirseats every time you announce its time for spelling; where
spelling lessons and practice bring exciting opportunitiesalong with a couple of laughs and a little competition; where studentsget emotionally involved in spelling fundamentals, and improvement is proudly displayed by students and recognized by teachers andparents.
You might think such a classroom is merely a figment of myimagination or a fantasy of some ambitiously naive first-yeareducation grad. I can boldly claim that such is not the case. I havebeen teaching for about 20 years and, with the help of some games, afew jokes, and other gimmicks, have witnessed students get excitedabout spelling, grammar, vocabulary, and more.
The No Boring Practice, Please! series is an extension of myclassroom and one humble step toward helping kids do what comesnaturallylearn. If youre ready to add spice to your spelling lessons,then this book is for you.
Carefully structured as a good basic course of study, the recipe foreach lesson is simple. No Boring Practice, Please! Spelling dishes upstraight spelling practice with a dash (or splash) of fun. Inside youllfind a concoction of reproducible pages that cover syllabication,plurals, silent letters, spelling rules (and rule breakers), commonlyconfused words, and more. Flavored with engaging illustrations and anedgy design, each practice page is easy for kids to swallow. Best of all,you can serve these pages with only a minimal amount of teacherinstruction.

No Boring Practice, Please! Spelling 5
Each unit opens with a brief, simple explanation of a key spellingrule or concept in easy-to-understand language. Students are thenchallenged to apply what they are learning through practice pages,followed by a quick and easy-to-score quiz. Occasionally, you maywant to add an extra exercise or practice test depending on studentsprogress, but the units are designed to stand on their own.
You may wonder what inspired me to write this bookand the restof the No Boring Practice, Please! series. Let me start at the beginning.As a baby boomers hyperactive kid, I wasnt a huge fan of school.Sitting at a desk most of the day was tough enough. Add a generoushelping of dry spelling rules and my eyes would glaze over, roll back inmy head, and send me into a near comatose state where hands onclocks ceased to move.
Years passed. After a less-than-stellar career in rock n roll, Idecided the teaching profession was a more lucrative gig. I had twospecific goals: (1) to become the teacher I never had; and (2) add alittle rock n roll to the school system.
Like it or not, we are teaching a new breed of childrenone thatwatches more than four hours of values-distorting TV each day, plays mindless video games on a regular basis, and gobbles upentertainment far more than nutriment. We welcome these media-savvy kids into our classrooms and expect them to get excited aboutplurals, silent letters, and syllabication. Lets get real!
This is what drives the No Boring Practice, Please! series. The seriesis academically sound and rich in language-skill development, but allof its information is disguised by a hip design and comical illustrationsthat have lots of kid appeal. Think of the series as whole-grain oatspackaged in a box of tutti-frutti breakfast cereal.
I know that students can get excited about doing well in spelling,and I feel gratified to be part of the process. I hope the No BoringPractice, Please! series helps teach and inspire.
May the force be with you.
Sincerely,Harold Jarnicki

My Winning TicketsThis is one of my true ________________. Honest! It all started when Aunt Wilma bought me three
lottery tickets for my birthday. I mean, who gives a kid lottery tickets? I asked Dad to hold them for me.
Then one day, I was hanging out at home, reading about the __________________ of ancient Egypt,
when Dad broke the news: My ticket numbers came up in three different __________________!
Suddenly, my future was filled with __________________! I could travel to foreign __________________.
I could buy hundreds of basketballs. I could follow my favorite baseball team as they play in different

Oh well I guess my dreams can wait a few more years.

A suffix is a syllable added
to the end of a word to
change its meaning.
Rule 1: If a word ends with a Consonant-Vowel-Consonant, double the finalconsonant when adding a suffix(a.k.a. the CVC Rule).
Rule 2: If a word ends in e, drop the e, then add thesuffix. If the suffix is -ed, just add -d.
For words that dontfollow the CVC Rule,just add the suffix.
Forexample: run running
skip skippedhit hitting
For example:dance dancing dancedrace racing raced
For example: jump jumpedstart starting
BUT if the suffix beginswith a consonant like -ly or-ment, leave the e on.
For example:
love lovelyplace placement

RRRRuuuu llll eeee BBBBrrrreeeeaaaa kkkkeeeerrrrssss !!!!

Rule3: If a word ends in a consonant plus y (as in fry), changethe y to i and add any suffix that doesnt begin with i.

Whats All the Fuss?I was so happy we baught that house. It was in the perfect spot, up on a hill
overlooking the park. Perfect. At least thats what I thaught.
Then things started to happen. That first night I heard a lot of strange noises
outside my room. Then I smelled something really putrid, like rotten tomato sawss.
I figured it was all in my imagination. Gee, I should know better, I laffed to
myself. Its not like the place could be hawnted or something!
BOOM! I shot out of bed like a rocket.

Amphibian NayshuhnWilbur couldnt believe his eyes. Was that really a frog? Wilbur cleaned his glasses. No,
he thought, it had to be an iloozhuhn. Wilbur looked at his teacher. She was talking about
multiplykashuhn.
He looked outside again. The weather report didnt call for prisipitayshuhn, but there was
a low dark cloud over part of the school. Was this some sort of strange aberration? Or was he
just feeling frustrayshuhn over his schoolwork?
A frog bounced off the window. Wilbur stood up quickly, knocking his chair over.
Konvursayshuhn stopped.
Wilbur, what are you doing? The math kompuhtishuhn is tomorrow. We still have a lot of
preperashuhn to do, said his teacher.
F-f-f-rogs! Out the window, said Wilbur, drawing everyones atencion outside. Suddenly
the room was filled with konfuzhuhn. Wilbur was covered in purrspirazion. There was a loud
explotion and more frogs fell from the sky like presipitasion. Was it an alien invation? Would
this be the days conclution? And then the principals salutashuhn could be heard.
Students and teachers, do not worry. The Science Department wishes to apologize for
the interupption. They had an unfortunate situasion. They promise the strange precipitation
will stop shortly. You may now return to addition, subtrakshuhn, and multiplication without
further hesitashuhn. Just watch your step outside.
