Hello all! I haven’t been part time homeschooling my 6 year old this school year, and now with the pandemic we’re full time homeschooling and may never go back. I’ve been trying to follow suggestions from the WTM book to guide my homeschool choices for the last 6 weeks but we are really struggling with writing and spelling. My daughter was in 1st grade at school this year, just for reference. She’s reading around late 2nd grade early 3rd level, very fluently aloud. However her spelling is just nonsensical. Words without vowels, etc. “Salt” she spelled “slt” yesterday, “whole” “hoo”, etc. we have been using Spell to Write and Read because that is what our local part time classical school uses. But when we go over the rule cards and phonograms some days it’s like I’m speaking in Chinese to her. We’re both frustrated. I am having a hard time figuring out what the disconnect is if she reads so well. SWR is also confusing to use/lesson plan, so I wonder if I should consider a new program? It combines phonics and spelling, so I hate to spend money on something new if we’re almost done needing to review phonics? How long do we go over phonograms? But I’m so green at this I don’t know what to expect with her development, and I don’t know what she needs from me for the next year. I wish I could just teach math, science and history all day 😭.
