asmall Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Hi, I was wondering if anyone uses Megawords. It was recommended to me and I wonder what do you use it for? AL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.... Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Yes, we used it last year and really liked it. I used it for spelling with an advanced 3rd grader. Have you been able to look at samples online? There might be some on christianbook.com. We took a year off and have been going thru Webster's Speller, but we might return to Megawords next year. I think it's written for 5th grade and up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khall Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Try the publisher's website for some info http://www.eps.schoolspecialty.com/megawords Book 1 is intended to be used in grade 4, and the introduction in the front of each teacher guide explains how the program was developed, based on the needs of learning disabled students and adults. I have two absolutely horrid spellers, and that is why we use this program. Actually, DD is in 3rd grade, so she'll start it next year. We really like the multi sensory aspect of it, and have definitely seen improvements after a year of Megawords. It's also a reading program, but we skip those pages. Reading is easy for my kids, but spelling........ Actually, if I could, I would make my husband work through these books. This is a man who writes lettuce on the grocery list as "letis", and he writes "gass" in the checkbook. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elisabeth in IL Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 We use megawords and love it. It helps my struggling reader with vocabulary, reading and spelling. I don't stress the spelling aspect of it as I use it more for the reading comprehension and vocabulary side of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
