homeschoolmama37 Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Looking for a new spelling curriculum and wondered if anyone has exerience with this. I've gotten some favorable feedback from other sources, so just thought I'd check here as well. Also if you use it, are you using it with a middle school aged child?

Butter Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Yes, we love it here. It is the only spelling curriculum (and we've tried many over the years) that has translated to improved spelling outside of their spelling lessons. I'm using it with two elementary and one middle, well he'll be high school next year, kids. The middle boy is a level ahead of the oldest, though. I reviewed it last fall on my blog https://thefamilywho.wordpress.com/2015/10/05/spelling-you-see-review/ (it wasn't one of those reviews where you are given the curriculum and asked to review it - I chose to use it, paid for it myself, and reviewed it because I wanted to). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meadowlark Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Just curious what you use WITH Spelling You See? Since there's so much actual writing through copywork and dictation, what kind of grammar or writing program would complement it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butter Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 (edited) For the older one, Writing With Skill and Easy Grammar. For the younger ones, Writing With Ease and First Language Lessons (Rod & Staff for the middle one next year). The writing in SYS is actually very minimal.

Awesome! Thanks for your input. I like the look of it and need a solid program for my rising 7th grader. Do you actually do the copywork every day? *Edited to say: I also read your blog review of it and that was very helpful. Thanks for posting that link.

Butter Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Yes, they do the copywork. It takes like three minutes. I count that as handwriting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
