high school spelling


Recommended Posts

My son had been spelling 2-3 grades above level so we got slack.

On his SAT for 9th grade this area was LOW- I was surprised.

What would you suggest for an independent learning who needs

a little brushing up. He loves doing work on the computer; I don't

want a work book. He is well grounded in phonics; not sure about

rules. Any suggestions? Thank You.

Carol,

 

If your ds has done well in the past with spelling, how about using vocabulary words for spelling. There are many Latin and Greek root programs out there. Simply make it a requirement for your ds to correctly spell the vocabulary words by giving weekly tests. In this way you are killing two birds with one stone. If you don't want to use a workbook approach for the vocabulary words then try out a software program. I think I bought one from Critical Thinking Press.

 

HTH,

I used AVKO keyboarding with my son. It teaches typing skills while reinforcing basic spelling patterns. Also I used phonic pathways - but told my son it was to teach cursive writing - so we did all the assignments but in cursive. Also I'm using this year Vocab for the High School Student - as it requires a lot of fill in the blank with the correctly spelled vocab word - this forces my son to slow down and analyze each word.
