jer2911mom Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Hi, I wanted to get some current reviews of Sequential Spelling Online. Is anyone using this successfully? I understand that sometimes the words are not enunciated clearly and that there are some glitches/bugs, but is it still usable overall? Do you switch off to the workbooks for levels 6 and 7? Thanks, Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5ofus Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 (edited) It has been a while since I used SS online so *grain of salt* but when we used it, it was absolutely horrible. Enunciation was an issue quite often, but the other major fail was that it provides British spellings to words. If you use American English, that's a bit of a problem. If your student is working independently, you may never notice until he//she asks or just spells it "wrong". I wish I could remember an actual example, but I cannot. (My son remembered one: 'peddlar' instead of 'peddler'). It happened more than one time I do recall. Therefore, I would not recommend the online SS unless it has drastically improved since it's release (and it very well may have as it has been a while). FWIW, I loved the actual SS workbooks and program however. Edited July 9, 2018 by 5ofus Peddlar Brit spelling was used in our SS online Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jer2911mom Posted July 9, 2018 Author Share Posted July 9, 2018 Thank you! So in the online, they make no distinction about when to use the British? I read somewhere that they use both, so was aware they British ones were in there, but didn't realize it wasn't clear when to use which one. Does anyone know if any of these issues have been corrected? I'm glad to know you did like the actual workbooks and program! Thanks again, Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5ofus Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 In the online version we used, no distinction was made and only the British spelling was offered. This was at least 2 years ago so surely this issue has been addressed but I personally don't know. The workbooks offered both British and US spellings as I recall.
