arcara Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I personally love AAS (worked great for my 2 oldest girls), but I'm not sure it's the best fit for my 9yo son. He's a kid who works so fast, he just doesn't want to take the time to think about rules, I think. He's currently got what I term a "trouble word list" (words to review that he's missed during dictation) about 30 words long and the list never gets shorter - only longer. I don't know if a program with patterns would be better ??? I really don't know. Any suggestions? Thx! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbgrace Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Apples and Pears worked here (works...we're still using it--nearly done with level C) here. We used a solid rules based program. My son, too, kept adding words to his list. Actually, he would learn to spell the missed words, but forget promptly. So they would reappear. He just wasn't getting better. I wish I had switched sooner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 That is the nice thing about AAS, it will force him to to slow down and think. Stay the course. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
