scrapbabe Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Anyone use this? It seems like it might be fun with all the different activities to do. I had read that it was written for public school though, so it might be harder to implement in a homeschool setting. Any thoughts?

SilverMoon Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 I've used it for first and second grade for my oldest two, and am starting the first grade book again with my third. They're a great start for spelling IMO, gentle yet thorough. We didn't continue it due to different third grade books being given to us, and my second does better with Spelling Wisdom dictation spelling than lists. (When my little guy gets through all the ARFS we already have I'll probably switch him to R&S, which goes to a higher grade level than ARFS does) It was designed for private Christian school use originally, but they are homeschool friendly. I don't do the weekly story and verses with my kids, which practically eliminates the need for the TE. The TE does have games and extra practice ideas on the side though.

twogirlsmommy Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 We love the program. I think that my DD like it because of the stories and the verses. We also do A Reason for Handwriting with the same verse being copied for the week. We are going into book D and have no plans to change. Some of the activities are hard to implement with only one child, but it is still a great program. I can't see doing the program without the teacher's book.

athena1277 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 I started using Reason for Spelling this year. We are in week 6 and I do like it. I started out without the TM, but there were too many sections we had to skip because I had no idea what she was supposed to do. I just started using the TM this week.
