You are a life saver, mainly, my husband's life, but still a life saver 😂... I've had an old timers pressure cooker forever. Sure I had to keep track of the pressure button, for a lack of a better description. He took it upon himself to buy a replacement. He had been asking me all sorts of cooking questions, like do I use a slow cooker, I said yes, it's what you know as a crock pot😊, and things of that sort... it was our anniversary yesterday and I wanted to make him pork chop pot roast of sorts, I'm looking all over my kitchen and dining room, and back porch and he finally asks me what ami looking for, so I tell him, to which he answers, I threw it away the last time you used it. I obviously was very angry 😠 😡 👿 about this and had quite a few choice words to say to him. He then hands me my anniversary present and says, I think this should be able to get me back into the house/back porch. I told him unless it was a brand new pressure cooker he was in for a cold night....so, I opened the present and he says, not only is it a pressure cooker, it's also a crock pot and like 16 other pans in one pot, you're welcome 😂. In his hurry to repackage the gift, he threw out the instruction booklet and that's when I came upon your video. Saved his life for sure!😅😂 thank you so much

Does it teach them how to diagram if they haven't in the past? We are using Fix It but I am wanting to switch to this. However, they haven't learned diagramming so I don't know if this would work.

Spelling Power is great for the word lists, not so much for the activities and the instructional strategies included in the book. If you really know how to simplify spelling instruction, you could do without all the fluff. The only part of the program I use with fidelity is the survey test and level placement tests.
