stephanie Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I am thinking about doing A&P with my struggling speller (ds9). My dd7 is a natural speller, and usually only has to look at a word and then can spell it. Would A&P be ok to use with her as well on the same level as ds9? I would like to get them doing spelling together to avoid me having to teach spelling on 4 different grade levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8filltheheart Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I am doing exactly that with my 6th and 3rd graders. My 6th grader is probably holding back my 3rd grader's natural pace, but I am not overly concerned. She is a natural speller and A&P is teaching her the rules, basic patterns, etc. I has really helped my 6th grader's spelling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasTea Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Steph, I am in the exact situation. My 9yr sturggles with spelling and reading. My 7yr old is a natural at both. He just started reading. I am going to order A&P for my 9 yr. old. My younger son is using Spelling WOrkout and its working for now so I am not switching. ;) Which level of A&P are you getting for your 9 year old?

Well, he did the online placement test and it said he should start at book A on lesson 51 or so. I'm not too sure about that b/c I asked him verbally last night before he went to bed. I was just trying to get an idea where he may be. I'll probably just get A and B and move on. I don't know what I want to do about my dd7. She, too, uses SWO and does spectacular.

TexasTea Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I guess I didn't realize there was a placement test. I am going to have my son take it too. Thanks Debbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
