Not only does it include all these words in rank order of difficulty, it contains all of Harry Greene's The New Iowa Spelling Scale. Although Greene's spelling scale dates back to a study done in 1953, published in 1954, it is the ONLY baseline study ever done on how well (or how poorly) our school children spell the 5,507 most basic words.

How Can You Use This Book?
