MaryCatherine Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 My youngest really needs the structure and review of AAS. But our relationship needs a workbook. Any suggestions? My oldest is using Spelling Workout - which I like. Is that possibly the closest to what I'm looking for? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanvan Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 How to Teach Spelling with the How to Spell Workbooks by Laura Toby Rudginsky, Elizabeth C. Haskell . I think there are samples on Christianbook. I have them, but prefer modifying AAS to fit my DC and making up my own worksheets. The workbook pages in How to Spell just didn't meet my expectations. They are good; just not quite what I was looking for. I may end up using them later. We'll see. I'm curious to see if anyone else has suggestions.

StacyinKS Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 I am also looking forward to any replies that you get, as I have also wondered about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MerryAtHope Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 I see that she's 11--depending on how far along her knowledge is, Megawords might work for her. This is for 4th grade and up, and teaches all of the same syllable rules that AAS does. You could also take a look at Phonics Zoo, I believe that is independent. Hope you find something that works for you & your dd! Merry :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nansk Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 You could try either of these; print the pages appropriate to your AAS lesson of the day. Hope this helps. 1. Spelling for Writing workbooks - I like these better than ZB Spelling Connections. They also have science and social studies-related writing pages which I plan to skip. http://www.eric.ed.gov/ERICWebPortal/Home.portal;jsessionid=JLGMs1nLvTlTV55mXZy0Z2tTqpVGThHGTRhYC3yRxMJNq22Sbphy!790695772?_nfpb=true&ERICExtSearch_SearchValue_0=Spelling+for+Writing+Student+Activity+Book&searchtype=keyword&ERICExtSearch_SearchType_0=ti&_pageLabel=ERICSearchResult&_urlType=action 2.

Thanks for this! 2. Zaner-Bloser Spelling Connections http://www.zaner-bloser.com/spellingconnections/practice-pages.html We used Spelling Connections for a while. It is a decent workbook option.

Thank you. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
