momma aimee Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 i tired to do a search, i am not good at it i guess... so what is a good phonics based spelling curr? one that is rule based and logical -- ie not random words? We use ETC for our phonics but looking for a bit more 'practice' based on rules -- where he has to 'output' (as well as intake in ETC). first grade and not reading independently yet -- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirstenhill Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 We are using Logic of English, and it is (as the name implies) very focused on learning phonograms and spelling rules in a logical way: http://www.logicofenglish.com/ If you search for LOE or Logic of English on the forums, you'll see a number of recent threads about it.

Marie131 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 We are starting AAS next year, it is very hands on and I think it will work well for my workbook hating son. It teaches spelling by teaching the phonograms. I think it will help with reading too :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jess4879 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 I highly recommend AAS. We are starting our 3rd year with it and absolutely love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walking-Iris Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 You've described Sequential Spelling. I was able to use the 1st book for two years when my ds was that age. We really like this program and will likely work through all 7 books. ETA: WRTR would fit that criteria too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

momma aimee Posted July 16, 2012 Author Share Posted July 16, 2012 Spelling Workout. we have spelling work out book A and the words seem to be grouped randomly and there is not 'teaching of the rule" that they all apply to -- does it get better as we go on, or stay random?

Walking-Iris Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Writing Road To Reading http://www.amazon.com/Writing-Road-Reading-6th-Rev/dp/0062083937/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1342461021&sr=8-1&keywords=writing+road+to+reading It's the Spalding method that people talk about on these forums. I haven't used it, but I have looked through this book and I think it's a pretty good program. It would help with spelling and phonics instruction and spelling rules etc. Seems like I've read that Montessori type schools sometimes use it.

Elfknitter.# Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 If you want AAS without the manipulatives, How to Teach Spelling and the workbooks How to Spell are suppose to fit the bill (I've never used AAS, but that comment has been made on the boards.)

reign Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 We just finished aas 1 today. It is easy to follow and fairly fun. If you don't want to use the magnets you could just use paper or a white board. I usually use the magnets for teaching a lesson just to mix it up a bit. Dd prefers to write her words using a white board not using the magnets or paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happycc Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 two ten yrs old and an 8yrs old. What do you mean olders? Are you talking about high schooler? No I am not doing with high schoolers but late elementary and early middle school. I have a feeling high schoolers may be offended if I pulled AAS out. Hard to say. I guess it depends on the child. The two ten years old put up with it. Not their favorite thing but they are learning so I am not complaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MerryAtHope Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Is anyone doing AAS with an older child? I started when my kids were 9 & 11. This year I'll have a 15 yo in Level 7, and a 13 yo in Level 6. It's been great for us! Here's a blog I did on our typical week. Merry :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 wrtr? Writing Road to Reading is the manual for the Spalding Method. It teaches children to read by teaching them to spell, so it's good for teaching children to read in the first place while also teaching them to spell, improving reading skills in general, and improving spelling in general. It covers readng, spelling, penmanship, capitalization and punctuation, and simple writing. It can also do grammar and more comprehensive writing, but just doing the spelling lesson will cover the above.:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
