prissygirls Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Do you still work on spelling in 6th grade? We are using LOE now and she is doing really well with it. Just not sure what to use for spelling next year. Is it normal to still do spelling at the age and what would you use? She is really wanting to be independent and BIG.

LindaOz Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 My 6th grader has just started spelling again. She doesn't need to, and she's doing Worldly Wise and learning the spelling of those words as she goes anyway. But I was buying a spelling book for ds9 ('cause he needs to) and so I asked if she wanted spelling too - and she did. She's a words girl and likes things like that. I think it really depends on the child and his/her needs. I think vocab like Worldly Wise or Vocab from Classical Roots may be more appropriate for some 6th graders.

Dolphin Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 We are in 6th grade and still doing spelling. We found and love Phonetic Zoo. Almost completely independent. Here is my in depth review of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellamoon Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 My 6th grader does spelling and will continue until he finishes highschool. In my mind you can never have enough spelling! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverMoon Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Mine keep going until they complete Rod and Staff's Spelling by Sound and Structure 6. After that a few rule reminders is all they required. (The 7 and 8 books in that series are root based vocab, and redundant to DC who study derivatives in their Latin course.) R&S spelling is independent until the words need called. The 6 book is a textbook, but aside from titling the page it doesn't really require more writing than a workbook. Simple, easy to use, and effective. It is also unabashedly Christian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
