Spelling: easy or difficult? Boring or interesting lesson? Can it be a source of excitement for a child? And yet it can be! In this book by educator Eleftheria Varela, children learn spelling with the help of etymology and the word family. They make associations as, when they know how to spell a word, they automatically learn many others, compound or derivative, of the same family. No matter what grade you are in, no matter how old you are, etymology will teach you spelling. Try it! Spelling becomes a game and is learned at Pi and Phi.
