mohop Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 I got Spellwell after seeing some recommendations for it on these boards, so I'm hoping someone can help me with this annoying issue. I got the teacher book (level C/CC) primarily because I wanted to have the list of spelling words with sentences prepared for the pretests and weekly tests....But I don't see that the teacher book has the word lists, let alone sample sentences to read during the tests. The only way I have of reading the words to my child (since the only place they are printed is in the book that she is writing in) is to take a picture of them and read them off the picture. I don't understand why the word lists aren't in the teacher book. What am I missing? What do you guys read from when dictating spelling tests?

Jame Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 I just discovered this as well and am wondering the same thing. I wrote the list of words on a notecard for the pretest. I'm kinda wishing I stuck with Spelling Workout. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTVKath Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 (edited) LOL. Ok so now I know it's not just me. :-) We're using A/AA for Grade 2. I only made it through one week before I sat down one night and typed out all the words into a Word table by Lesson number. My daughter and I love Spellwell so far. Wish they had a downloadable pdf of the words for each level. If we continue to love it, then I'll just make a B/BB word list next year.

Emba Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 I used Spell well before switching yo Spelling Workout. I didn't realize there should be a list of sentences (but I really appreciate it now!). I just winged it. But it bugged me every week that there was no list of words for each week in the teacher book. I just had her do the pretest on a separate paper, and I held the book. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mohop Posted September 10, 2017 Author Share Posted September 10, 2017 I know it's not an insurmountable problem and is more of an annoyance than a serious issue. But geez...you'd think the teacher book would include the spelling words!! Plus, I rely on having some very open & go curricula to go along with some of the other things we do, because I work and have child care/homeschooling help. I think I'll end up writing or typing out the word lists myself, and I like the idea of going ahead and copying all the lessons at one time.
