I am starting to put together a partial curriculum for D12 at her request. I hs'd when she was younger, but she has been at private/public school for the past 4 1/2 years. One of the subjects she is asking to do is spelling - she is horrible at it. She reads a lot, but it's almost exclusively audiobooks (she has a hard time focusing on printed words, even if she enjoys what she's reading). I don't know what spelling programs are out there for older children. When she was in 2nd grade, I used Sequential Spelling, but she started private school in 3rd grade, and we didn't continue. DD feels that the memorizing lists of words method (what the school did) wasn't helpful in the least. She is very much a pattern and logic person, and needs to see a connection between what she is learning, and why.
