cheryl h Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 This is our first year using the A beka Spelling for all four kids and it has proved very challenging. My older two have grown used to the longer lists and more work and are doing very well now. My dd6 is doing great also, but is a really good reader, and loves reading/spelling. However, my ds6 is struggling. He is an average reader, reluctantly so, "I hate books!" is a common phrase. He seems to do only okay from Monday to Friday. He usually gets more than 75% of his list words right every week. Because he isn't more successful, I usually take a week every four weeks or so as a review week to solidify and master past missed words. Unfortunately, he doesn't even get the words right than he did before. Have any of you seen/used both and have some advise about which is a better program. Is Spelling Workout more or less challenging, and do you think one is better than the other at teaching the spelling rules/concepts. Thanks for your thoughts. I don't think I have seen a single other soul on these posts that uses A beka Spelling. Maybe I need to catch a clue?:001_huh: Cheryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
