I've looked at samples here: http://intervention.schoolspecialty.com/products/details.cfm?seriesonly=900M

 

and the overview here: http://intervention.schoolspecialty.com/downloads/povs/S-Megawords2.pdf

 

and I am so impressed!

 

I love that it breaks the words down into manageable syllables. I like the organization of the whole thing.

 

I really think this is going to be our spelling program for next year, and I think I'm going to start both my boys with Level 1 -- makes sense, right?

 

I am actually feeling rather excited about this! :D

You now, I love Megawords. It’s been a very good program since my dd actually enjoys it. And I have not had to put that much into it- for all that we are gaining from it. (we have been using it for two years)

I was a little perturbed that they had to go and make new editions, forcing me to repurchase TMs for my youngsters. But after mulling it over a bit more, I think Megawords is totally worth the extra money that I will have to spend.

Yes, this is the place to start.

 

It's a great program, and low fuss. :D

I'm a big fan of oral spelling and syllables, and I like the samples!

 

But, I haven't bought because I have plenty of good spelling programs, although not as many spelling programs as phonics programs. (Depending on how you count my collection of old Spellers, if you count them, my Spelling program count would be close to my phonics program count.)

I use phonics instead of spelling until third grade- same thing really. :)

 

I love phonics! (blended w/ sight words)

We will finish Megawords 8 today! It is the only subject ds never complains about. We've used it 5th-8th grade. Easy and effective. See my review here.

 

Wow! You finished WriteShop and Megawords all in the same week! :hurray::hurray:

 

We're on Level 3 and ds, like yours, never complains.

I was saving all of my TM in pristine condition and now I read that they have revamped the book and the TM's on CBD are completely different!

 

Bummer! This is why I no longer believe in saving anything and just sell after I'm done using! I guess I'll throw them in the garbage because they are pretty much useless...huh?

NO! Don't throw it away! Buy used at amazon. They should have the edition you need.

 

By the way, I plan to start Megawords when my daughter starts 4th grade. Out of curiosity, do I really need the TM?

 

Thanks!

Yes, you need the TM for dictation exercises. ;)
