Frequently asked questions…
Q: What age/grade is Joyful Heart Spelling Skills designed for?
A: Please see my post on Spelling – When to Start for a full explanation.
Q: What version of Bible verses are used in the curriculum?
A: All verses are taken from the New International Version, 1984. The only exception is found in skill 3, in which the verse is from the New King James Version.
Q: Do you offer a printed book form?
A: No. However, we have tried to use bestvaluecopy.com to print the teacher guide and student sheets. At the time, there was a special offer to receive 200 free B/W copies using a code. You may wish to check their website to see if this offer is still available. I would recommend having the Student Sheets printed double sided, 3-hole drilled, and shrink wrapped. The Teacher Guide should also be printed double sided and I would suggest to use wire binding, a clear front cover, and a vinyl back cover.
