Aludlam Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I have been tossing around adding a workbook to AAS for DD9. It's not b/c we don't love AAS. It's because sometimes we just don't get to it. I have no intentions of stopping the program, but I know if we have something that she can do alone, it will get done everyday. KWIM? She should be further along than she is, but we are where we are. We are in book 3 of AAS. She's an amazing reader, though. So, I'm thinking about adding Spelling Workout (We did book 1 before switching to AAS in 2nd grade.) If we do that, which book do you think would correspond well with AAS3? What do you guys think? thanks so much! FYI: We all really love AAS.

creekmom Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I'm not a big fan of Spelling Workout, but I do like the Spectrum spelling series (you can find it at Amazon or Barnes and Noble). If you want to save $, you can keep track of her missed words in writing, make a weekly list, and have her do activities/test each week on spellingcity.com.

Lovedtodeath Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 How to Spell workbooks are Orton-Gillingham based just like AAS. The programs are amazingly similar. It is like AAS took How to Teach Spelling as a base. (I am not saying that they did, just that it seemed that way to me when I first got AAS after using How to Teach Spelling.)

Irishmommy Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 We just added Spelling City games for my ds and he likes that. In fact, we added level 3. I already have all the words imput in there if you want those lists, I can share them with you. Just let me know and I can tell you how to search for my lists.

I would go with the above, the games suggested or Megawords. Heather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we need to buy the How To Teach Spelling Teacher Guide or can we just use the workbooks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovedtodeath Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Do we need to buy the How To Teach Spelling Teacher Guide or can we just use the workbooks? If you are supplementing AAS with workbook pages, then you only need the workbooks. If you want to add more difficult dictation to AAS then the teacher guide could help in that area. There are nonsense words, words, phrases, and sentences for each phonogram and rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
