Basic Cozy Spelling Course. For Grades 6-8. This free, thirty lesson spelling course has been made available courtesy of Marie Rackham. The curriculum for the course provided here was personally used by Marie in the public school system at the grade 7, 8, and 9 levels. "Spelling, like grammar and punctuation, is a technique of English. Spelling is an important communication skill. In my opinion, since the advent of the Internet, it is even more important because words on a web page may determine what people think of you and your abilities. Spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors will make you appear less credible to your audience."
