Sahamamama Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Do you schedule this (as in, plan which lessons to do when), or do you just go with the flow of what the student retains and learns? She'll be starting 1st grade (February), is a strong verbal type, strong reader, loves to write/read, and wants to learn spelling. And this is our first time using AAS. :bigear: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truebluexf Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Go with the flow. So far I find we can go through things much quicker than "scheduled", but I know at some point we will hit a hard spot. It's better done if you just decide how often and for how long to work on it each day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nukeswife Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I don't schedule the books, I just schedule in 15 minutes of spelling 3-4 days a week. We get as far as we get in those 15 minutes and just pick up where we left off next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommyto4 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I don't plan ahead; we just spend 10 minutes four times a week. I love the fact that AAS doesn't need to planned ahead. You just open the book and go! My son loves that it's 10 minutes and that's it. He does enjoy doing the lessons, but appreciates that it is short every day without fail. Do note that it did take a few steps to get to be comfortable knowing what we were doing. All the best! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

golfcartmama Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I just go with it as well! In the first book, we could easily cover 1-2 lessons a day. Now we might take 2-3 days per lesson, depending on what's needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
