jina Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I don't see many posts about it, but when people DO talk about it, they seem to like it! The same author as Explode The Code puts out Spellwell. What's the scoop? Experiences? Opinions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen sn Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 giving you a bump - I would like to hear the answers myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baseballmom Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 We are using it this upcoming year as part of the Winterpromise Language Arts program. I think it looks wonderful. My son thinks it looks good for a spelling program. I don't know how it will actually go, but we are looking forward to it. I am sorry that I am not much help, Dorothy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baseballmom Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 My comments were about the EPS Spellwell, by the author of Beyond the Code. Dorothy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teresa in MO Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 If you are talking about the EPS Spellwell I have used this for the past 3 years. I am using it again this year with my 3rd grader. If it went past 5th grade I would use it with my 6th grader. I like it alot. The exercises are varied each week. I like the pretest also. Hope this helps.

jina Posted July 28, 2008 Author Share Posted July 28, 2008 Yes, the EPS Spellwell (ETC author)...Those that use it - did you wait until 2nd grade to start it? Were you also using ETC or did you already finish with those books? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmgirlinwv Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 TY for posting this! I am looking for a spelling program for next year and saw this in WP. Dd loved ETC! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiffany k Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I have started it with my ds7 for second grade. He is a natural speller and did really well with Apples and Pears, but he is using this independently for a term and he really enjoys it. He likes the activities and choosing two words each week that he wants to learn to spell. He can almost always spell the list words right for the pre-test, so I like that he can learn alternate words instead. I don't think I would choose this as my only spelling program, but for this time when I need to work more with his younger sister, it is working nicely. I plan to return to Apples and Pears later in the fall, so this is just a fun but temporary curriculum.

Academy of Jedi Arts Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 We're using it. It is very user friendly and easy to adapt for individual needs. I like the word lists and the alternative lists. There are also spaces to write in "classroom words" from other areas of your curriculum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
