suzziesnowflake Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 My son wants to move to a "regular spelling" program. He is 13 and does not like AAS. We are in level 4. I do not make him spell with the tiles and I let him write out his words on a dry erase board. I have tried to elimate anything that would be percieved as babyish. We have tried AP, Barton and sequential spelling. I have found that his reading is better now that we have been using AAS but he is becomming really resistant. I am not sure what to do next. Anyone have any ideas. I was thinking about Rod and Staff maybe. We do use mega words for reading but he is not able to spell the words very well. Ideas?

HandmaidenofChrist Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 That worked really well for my dd who had auditory processing issues. I'm just getting ready to dig my old copy out to use on my last hs'er, as he too, needs help in this area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnM Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 For a teenager? We looked at it when my oldest was 10 and it seemed quite "young" even then.

suzziesnowflake Posted December 12, 2011 Author Share Posted December 12, 2011 I looked a phonic zoo and thought it would be little young for him. Still searching though. I know I can't keep using AAS. Hmm, Does anyone have a special way of doing spelling that incorporates a spelling book or workbook? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixpence1978 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Maybe How to Teach Spelling and the workbooks that go along with it? Now, I have never seen it, but I heard it teaches the same content as AAS, but without all the bells and whistles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiramisu Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Spelling Power? Is that a normal spelling program? We finished Sentence Composing, and dd asked to do spelling now and I had a used copy of Spelling Power on my shelf. So far, so good.

Ottakee Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Apples and Pears is not age related and might work very well for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
