Book excerpt: This interactive book is an enjoyable way for children to learn spelling rules and patterns. With the help of some friendly animals, young spellers add prefixes and suffixes to root words, practise using apostrophes, and spot spelling mistakes. The durable, wipe-clean pages allow children to spell words again and again until they feel confident. Supports the school curriculum. Includes a quiz, a practice page, answers and notes for grown-ups inside a gatefold to ensure children get the most from these books. Part of the hugely successful Usborne Wipe-clean series, the Key Skills titles teach children the basics of a variety of Maths, English and Science topics, including times tables, fractions, grammar, punctuation and spelling. Comes with a special wipe-clean pen which is very satisfying to write with, and easy to wipe off the shiny pages.
