Why You Need Them: 

Learning "all there is to know" about systems of American-English phonics, spelling, and vocabulary can be a daunting, stressful undertaking. Although printed or downloaded materials can't guarantee mastery, they can certainly be of help. So can the satisfaction puzzle-solvers derive from "getting through" puzzles of unique, complex-looking formats, from comparing their work to Puzzle Solutions, from seeing how much they already know by perusing long reference lists, and from doing their own relevant language-learning research.

What They'll Do: 

Present not only patterns and rules, but also anything else there is to know about the targeted content--in compact, jam-packed layouts that waste no space or verbiage--to be reviewed or learned, examined, noted, and/or put aside by language learners to return to whenever convenient or relevant.          

Reinforce and go beyond previous mastery in these areas of interest:
