Guest Xapis10 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 This is for a friend, though I'm curious too... Is there a spelling/phonics book that teaches a rule or two, and then makes a list of spelling words based on those newly learned rules? My friend is tired of spelling lists that get a bit confusing by listing words that sound similar, but are all spelled differently. (like the different ways to spell the sound, "ow") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebacabunch Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 We don't do spelling until after we are done learning phonics. Seems the natural progression. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunter Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Spalding 4th edition if using manuscript, or if cursive is already solid. How to Tutor if teaching cursive and phonics at the same time. I prefer to use the Spalding 6th edition lowercase cursive and uppercase manuscript hands though, instead of the HTT cursive hand. The order of introduction of letters in HTT is wonderful though, and works perfectly with the Spalding hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolphin Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 AAS until they are ready for PZ, then switch. This is working best for my family. My son is doing well with the auditory style of PZ. It won't work for all families. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forgiven Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 A Beka is like this too--at least in the younger years, though I assume it follows the same format through the higher grades too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoZeeCo's Mom Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I use the 5th addition of Spalding. And love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Spalding. IMHO, which edition of the manual (WRTR) you use is irrelevant. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Xapis10 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 A Beka is like this too--at least in the younger years, though I assume it follows the same format through the higher grades too. Are you saying A Beka lists words with similar sounds (my friend's complaint)? The A Beka Phonics book I looked at certainly appears to go over all similar sounds at the same time. For those recommending AAS and WRTR - would you say those curriculums would be the remedy my friend is looking for? They base spelling lists off of phonics rules for simplification? Thanks!

SnMomof7 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Definitely AAS. We don't teach spelling until we're well into phonics though, then it serves as review too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
