Highland61996 Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Can you tell me if all Megawords books are the same level of difficulty, but each address different areas of spelling & vocab? I know there is an assessment book that can be purchased, but I would end up paying almost $25 for that and would like to hear from those who have used the program if possible. Thanks!

Sunshine State Sue Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 I would not say that each book has the same difficulty level. I bought the assessment book but it was not helpful. You really need training to be able to use it. You have to be able to distinguish what/why the student is mispronouncing words. FWIW, you may read my review here.

Tohru Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 I'm curious too. I have a 12yo who is a so-so speller and not sure what level to start him off at. Is the 1st book really for 4th grade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine State Sue Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 The 1st book lays the foundation for breaking words down into syllables. I wouldn't skip it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highland61996 Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 Thanks, Sue. I read your review, which was very helpful. I was looking at Megawords for my up-and-coming 4th grade son, who I believe would benefit from this type of study. My oldest son, who is more of a natural speller, could perhaps listen in at times, and absorb some info that way. The other vocab-type thing I was looking at, which is also by the same company, is Vocabulary from Classical Roots. But I think we'll stick with Megawords. (Thanks for your response -- I had searched for threads including Megawords, but didn't come up with much.):) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
