I have to decided to try AAS over the summer. It will give me a chance to get use to it while we don't have much going on. If we don't like it, she will use R&S in the fall.
She's nine. 3rd grader with November birthday. Does that make a difference? I would rather just do R&S and reevaluate later, if that wouldn't kill her! ;-)
She will be using R&S English and math in the fall. I thought I would just use R&S spelling as well. I knew she wasn't a great speller. Then I got her scores back today. :-/ I thought oh no we may need a little more guidance.
Our Standford 10 results came back today. My 3rd graders worst score was spelling. 27% percentile and 2.3 grade equivalent. Should I consider AAS? But those tiles seem not so user friendly...Someone please sell me on it or talk me out of it.
