[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-04-05 Summary: Workable, consistent spelling for youngsters ... I have tried many different spelling curriculums over the years amongst my seven children. The Spelling Workout series captures their attention. It isn't too long or too short. The words gradually increase in number throughout the lower elementary grades. It doesn't overburdened the kids. They enjoy the activities. It is parent friendly. Much of the work can be done independently if the child is a fluent reader. There is adequate reinforcement for learning the words in a reasonable amount of time. ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-03-21 Summary: loved it ... I've used this for 2 of my children and it was a great starting spelling book. It gave them the confidence they needed to excel. It was just the right level for any early emergent reader. The book is brightly colored and fun. It works well with the MCP phonics, which is one of my favorite phonic programs. I have home-schooled for 12 years and have used many phonics and spelling books and MCP is my favorite. ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-01-30 Summary: Great Spelling Curriculum ... I'm a homeschooler. I ordered this workbook for my first grader.

I have already ordered another copy for my younger son and the Level B for next year. I plan on using Spelling Workout for as long as the kids keep learning from it. It seems to work for us. It's a very good book...definitely worth a try! ...more

[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2007-10-17 Summary: Ignatius' Spiritual Exercises Made Accessible ... I've been using this book to guide me in the spiritual exercises. The author does an excellent job of making the Ignatian exercises accessible (without watering them down so as to make them ineffective) to modern Christians who seriously want to grow and strengthen their faith. Not for Roman Catholics only. This book will be very useful for all Christians. ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2007-03-17 Summary: An Interesting Intro to Ignatian Spirituality ... Author Tim Muldoon begins the introduction of his book THE IGNATIAN WORKOUT with an observation: the busiest time at athletic complexes on college campuses is after the spring break when people realize the summer is near and the need to shed winter pounds before bathing suit season becomes urgent. He's familiar enough with college campuses as a student and later as a professor at Mount Aloysius College (where he taught when he wrote the book) and now at Boston College. He believes this is a somewhat futile activity, ...more

[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-09-06 Summary: Not Just a Boring Spelling list ... I started using the Spelling Workout books from Modern Curriculum Press a couple years ago as a secular recommendation from The Well Trained Mind. I have looked around at other spelling books and I like the structure of this series better. It is set up with a sport theme throughout. The lessons begin with a little story on a range of topics, which my son really likes, then you can give a warm up test to see what words your child will need to give more attention. Next there are a couple pages with fill in the blank ...more

[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-06-27 Summary: Works if you look outside the lines/boxes ... I just bought my third one today. Love it! No diet log includes enough room for my calorie counting or interval training, but this one comes the closest. I just use the extra weight training lines for my calories and interval training. Just like with a workout, you'll get out of your exercise/diet log what you put into it. ...more

[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-06-10 Summary: Push Yourself ... I went back to swimming after a 25 year hiatus. Running and biking were no longer options for me. A year after diving back in, I had a set workout that I liked to do -- EVERY time I hit the pool. For my 46th birthday, someone bought this for me off my wishlist and six months after starting to use this book, I still thank the person who bought it for me several times a month. And the gratitude is genuine. Looking to shake my workout up a bit, this book rocked my entire workout program. I thought the resistance training ...more

[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-07-15 Summary: An excellent way to spice up your workouts ... I purchased this book to add variety to my current workouts. It does an excellent job. I'm an experienced swimmer (high school and college), so I have no problem with the stroke workouts. Someone just learning how to swim all four strokes might feel differently. For each workout there is an "A" version (typically between 4 and 5 thousand yards) and a "B" version (3 to 4 thousand yards). Virtually all the sets are on rest intervals, not explicit times, so my workout buddy who is a little slower than I am gets to do ...more
