poetic license Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I know AAS is popular, but I'm not willing to invest that kind of $ at this point. I'm looking for a workbook-based and rule-based spelling program that I can just take out for a few minutes a few times a week. Any suggestions? Thanks :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeghanL Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Phonetic Zoo is really good. You get a 15 word list every week that all follow a similar rule. We only do it 3 times a week and it takes about 10 minutes each time. The first day, we review the new words & the rule. The 2nd day I have my son verbally spell each word and if he misses a letter he goes back to the beginning of the word until he can spell it correctly. The third day we do the "test" where he writes each word down as I say it. Any missed words get added to the next week until he shows proficiency.

AmericanMom Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 How to Spell/How to Teach Spellinghttp://eps.schoolspecialty.com/products/details.cfm?series=1847m :iagree:I second this. This has worked wonderfully for my kids and it takes almost no planning time for me, using the workbooks. Very rule based and the syllabication part (which I thought might be unnecessarily confusing) has turned out to be extremely helpful. It has some dictation already built in, too.

poetic license Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 Is there anyone who has seen both of the following?

boscopup Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 You need the manual for HTTS, but it takes you through all levels. I got it from Book Depository when they had a 10% off coupon. The manual has the words and dictation sentences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
