We did Spelling You See, but it didn't seem to help her remember how to spell any of the words. Maybe we gave up on it too soon. We only did level B. We are also doing a charter school (Summit) that pays for certain curriculums and sadly, Apples & Pears isn't on the list. I've looked at AAS and Phonetic Zoo, but A&P seems to be the better fit.

@ElizabethB Thanks! Those look like very helpful resources. I am leaning toward Phonetic Zoo, but I'll check out spelling plus. I have never heard of Anki. I'll have to look into that. Kahn is a really good idea. I don't know why I didn't think of that! 4Wesley, I will check out Teaching Textbooks, thank you! I hadn't heard of Rock n Learn, only Times Tales. I'll have to pick that up. @Gypsymama. Interesting! I've not heard of Ray's arithmetic books. We took a 5 week break this summer and it was a big mistake. I wish I knew what cause the retention struggle. I"ve also never heard of Wheeler's. It sounds like a good approach. Thanks for taking the time to share!

I haven't looked at Life of Fred. I've had a lot of friends start out with it but not continue it for one reason or another. That's good to know that it may be available at the library. That could be really helpful. All About Spelling has been on my list of potential ones. I'm trying to figure if AAS or Phonetic Zoo would be better. I'm thinking of letting my daughter have my old cell phone, and then she can make videos of herself spelling her words and watch it. I never let her use my phone, and when she does get it, she's always making videos of herself, ha ha! Thanks for the input!!

Thank you! Those are very helpful recommendations. I really want her to feel confident and empowered to try, instead of defeated and unsure. I know she can do it if I can just find the right fit :)

Hi All :) I desperately need recommendations for my 10 year old. She's a very intelligent auditory learner, but she struggles with retaining facts and abstract concepts so math and spelling are difficult. She LOVES history, and can remember every detail from listening to Story of the World. I wish I could find Math & Spelling in similar formats. She does really well with First Language Lessons too if that's helpful. So far, she's done the best with a spiral approach to math as she doesn't have the retention needed for mastery approach. She likes the narrative style of beast academy, but a lot of it was too conceptual for her. She does okay with Horizons math, but I'm wondering if something that incorporated more auditory aspects might be good. Spelling is a trainwreck. We've tried Spelling U See and Sequential spelling. I've read that Phonetic Zoo might be good though? Any input is very much appreciated!!!
