Best spelling workbook for 5th grader

[Blessed with seven]

My daughter absolutely does not like Phonetic Zoo, I want a program that will cover the basics of spelling, without having to go through 8 workbooks, but we need something fairly independent. Ideas?

Another vote for Spelling by Sound and Structure.

I agree with the other replies. Rod and Staff Spelling by Sound and Structure is painless.

We liked Spelling Workout.

I agree with Rod and Staff. I used Spelling Workout before R&S, and while I was happy with it, I ended up going with R&S because it is significantly cheaper. But R&S is Christian, so if you would find that offensive, then I say go for SW.

Is R&S a workbook or a hardcover text?

Sweet soo...how would I know where to start in that series, Rod and Staff?

Grades 2-5 are workbooks. Grades 6-8 are textbooks, but aside from titling the page they don't require anymore writing than the workbooks do.

An average fifth grader should start with the 5 book. Don't go by the word lists. The needed skill for the exercises is more important for placement.
