Perry Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 I'm going to start homeschooling my dyslexic 4th grader next week, and am hurriedly trying to pull resources together for him. Any suggestions on what to use for spelling? I use Sequential Spelling with his sisters, but I don't really think he's ready for that yet. We're doing ABeCeDarian for reading, and lots of copywork and dictation. Would you start a spelling curriculum now, or just wait until he's ready for SS?

Stacy in NJ Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 A great program you can use with young kids is Spelling Mastery https://www.sraonline.com/products.html?PHPSESSID=efe65335fcb379c4f95505b302ed3187&tid=9&sid=3014&open=. There's a placement test on the site as well. Look to purchase it via e-bay, amazon or abebooks.com. Used it's less expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottakee Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 http://www.soundfoundationsbooks.co.uk/ Apples and Pears Spelling is designed for dyslexic students. They have placement tests to figure out where to start him. VERY easy to use. It IS a little more expensive and comes from England but it is working very well here. The spelling is carrying over to my 11dd's every day work and sticking---no learning it and then loosing it the next day/week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are halfway through book B, and it has really helped DS, nearly 12, improve his spelling. I think the price has come down a bit because they have a distributor in the US now.
