Sahmqui Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 I thought maybe I'd have better luck here. We need help finding a spelling and a formal writing structure program that fits. My ds8 loves to jot down ideas. I say this because he does not make complete sentences. He will add punctuation sometimes and/or capitalization the beginning letter rarely. His dictation always needs correcting and I make him re-copy with all corrections. He states "oops" everytime I correct his dictation or work that requires answers in a sentence. The misspelled words are frequently and many, words he can spell aloud just does not reflect on paper. He can ace a spelling test if given a list prior to the test - yes he just memorizes and forgets later. I want something that will encourage him to write more sentences and not just jot down ideas. I need his spelling to stick. My boy learns and retains different then myself and my DD. So please help. What program/curriculum works best to teach spelling and writing structure?

mommymilkies Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Definitely AAS and WWE or the Bravewriter dictation. I would also look into getting him checked for vision or sensory issues (visual processing, etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
