Ultimate Spelling Book More Than 100 Tests, Super Tests and Killer Spelling Bees

A fun book about spelling! This is not another basic spelling improvement book but a challenging collection of more than 100 tests guaranteed to have even the most smugly confident spellers running for their dictionaries. Test yourself -- or your friends -- with multiple choice tests, ³Say It and Spell It² tests that rely on pronunciation guides, and ³-able or -ible² and ³-ance or -ence² tests for the most commonly made mistakes. Finally, there¹s a run of 50 special-interest tests ranging from America Cities to botany, and opera to sports. Filled with fascinating spelling lore, such as Ben Franklin¹s efforts to reform our spelling system, and a brief history of why English is so complicated.Grambs, David is the author of 'Ultimate Spelling Book More Than 100 Tests, Super Tests and Killer Spelling Bees', published 1989 under ISBN 9780756750008 and ISBN 0756750008.
