................... Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 My dd will finish Apples and Pears and it has helped her tremendously in every aspect of spelling, reading, and writing... But unfortunately, she still needs a lot of work...and she really struggles with spelling while thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cindydanleo Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Megawords? Thats what I've heard but I dont know for sure. I'm still in Apples and Pears but will be curious what advice you get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shay Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 We finished a similar program last year (Spelling Through Morphographs), and I've opted to use Spelling Power this year. Since ds has gone through all the rules, we really need to work on his particular trouble words. SP does this. I move a couple of words that he misses in his other curriculum onto his daily (short) list of words to study. For example, he spells body as "bodey", fifteen as "fifeteen", and finally as "finaly" so that was moved to his list to study. We are only a few weeks in, but so far I'm liking the individualized approach, especially since we finished a comprehensive program already. HTH!

alisoncooks Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Listening in. I was kinda hoping that after A&P we'd be finished with spelling... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FO4UR Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Studied Dictation. Pull out tricky words to study beforehand. Use the passage to review grammar concepts. Use the passage for copywork. Then dictate. Keep a Book of Commonplace. Let it be an open-ended, journal-type project. Just let her gather quotes she loves in one pretty book. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8filltheheart Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 We moved on to How to Teach Spelling. The spiral review of previous words helped my horrible spellers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There won't be such luck here, but maybe for you. :) hope springs and all that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
