In my experience, my kids get very confused with homophone words. And it only takes 10 minutes for this kind of test. This really helps solidify the words even more. Going down this list, I simply pick a few every week and my kids actually give each other spelling tests. This way he does not forget and even can tell himself the whole passage by the end of the lesson.Īlso I have a handy list (actually it is from Spell to Read and Write, but I have another list from an online resource) of common words to know and spell. HOWEVER, he is required everyday to be ready for a previously learned review sentence of the same passage and I choose one to dictate while he writes it on the chalkboard correctly. After studying all week, I dictate a new sentence (they are long ones) by Friday. For example, he is learning a lengthy paragraph right now. I do it slightly more intense than what is suggested because I feel my son needs it. I have done a few programs in the past with no marked improvement.īUT Spelling Wisdom has helped so much. It looks very good, but I know how SWR works and I’m trying to make things simple.
I also have logic of English essentials I can sell. Incidentally, I have many levels of AAS I can sell.
I intend to put dd12 in list M and ds8 in list A and just go as we can 4 days a week.Īgain, AAS may be great for some kids, but the syllabication and markings of SWR were more effective for us. With SWR, I am more confident in my abilities now and comfortable setting a timer for 30 minutes and calling it done than I was then. Honestly, she’s learned a few words, but I don’t think we’ve gained ANY ground. We used SWR for 1st and 2nd grade and then jumped around trying several things (looking for my ease bs SWR was working beautifully for dd) and settling in at AAS which she completed 4+ levels of. I know so many have succeeded and I was blissfully going along, but the same mistakes keep happening in dd-2’s writing.
