I don't think that I would bother with workbooks, but I can understand the
temptation. It is a fair amount of work to do the reproduction and
organizing of the loose sheets. I am currently using the teacher books,
with tear-out masters. Since my kids are working at their own pace and are
all over
We use the Words Their Way spelling stage/sort books, i.e. *Word Sorts for
Within Word Pattern Spellers*. They contain the sorts for the stage as
reproducibles. With that, we are able to be selective with our different
needs/levels within grade levels.

Over time, I have come to the conclusion that some people can spell

how much reading a person did, but I don't know anymore whether I
