Practice makes perfect in just 10 minutes a day!

There is nothing more important than your child's education, but sometimes it's difficult to find the time to squeeze everything in. Part of DK's best-selling "Made Easy" home-learning workbooks, the 10 Minutes a Day series fits in around busy lives.

Aimed at ages 7-9, Spelling covers a range of subjects, from prefixes and syllables through nouns and verbs to apostrophes and common endings. Every subject is clearly introduced so children can complete the exercises on their own or under guidance. For the eager student, there are extra challenges on every page if they finish the questions within 10 minutes, or if they want to continue practicing.

Answers are also provided so there's no need to worry if you don't know your "ei" from your "ie" or your hyphens from your homophones—everyone can learn at home together!
