Tabitha Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 I read the thread here: http://www.welltrainedmind.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20994&highlight=spelling Where would I start my dd going into 4th grade. We've been using R&S Spelling, and would like to break from that since it's too easy and a bit boring for her. She likes the though of tiles and hands-on stuff with AAS. She's a workbook gal, but I think the change will be nice for her. My upcoming 1st gr. is very hands-on, so I think this will be fun for her when I start spelling as well. But...for the 4th...should I start with 1...start with 2? I'm not sure which to look at. Sequential Spellling looks nice too...but it's generally not something we do everyday.... Thanks!

Tabitha Posted April 20, 2008 Author Share Posted April 20, 2008 Alrighty...looking more at the site, I think it's work starting with 1 even though my dd is beyond that, just to get in the rules and building blocks of their system. Plus...dd#2 would use it later as well. Sometimes just typing this out helps - lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue G in PA Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 this same questions a while back. Can't remember who it was (sorry!), but she said to start at 1 (I have a 5th grader who will be using it...non-nat speller) and move quickly through just to get all the phonemes in as a foundation. I bought AAS2 used, but need 1 anyway for my 2nd grader so it's not a waste for me (nor for you!). HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
