lulalu Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 This year we began using Dictation Day by Day. It has been an amazing help to DS, 8, spelling. I really think keeping the spelling in sentences has been the key. His handwriting, spacing, conventions of sentences has all improved. I own The ABCs and All Their Tricks. I used this to find more words that had the same spelling pattern. I had DS orally spell words as I called them out. What I want next year is a resource that I can use with Dictation Day by Day that will teach us spelling rules. I don't want spelling lists, just a resource that goes over the rules. So that when a new spelling pattern comes up we can learn the rule, and I can pull out a few more words for oral spelling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lulalu Posted April 18, 2020 Author Share Posted April 18, 2020 I also thought maybe buying the tiles from AAS to use for words that follow the spelling rule of any new words. Does AAS have an easy book with all the rules in one spot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forty-two Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 (edited) Logic of English has a book with all the rules and morphographs in one easy spot: Uncovering The Logic of English (LoE site, amazon). It's OG based, like AAS, so it's the same basic rules/phonograms as AAS. One thing I do with Dictation Day by Day is to use Spelling You See's visual marking system to mark AAS/OG phonograms and prefixes/suffixes (yellow for vowel digraphs, purple for r-controlled vowels, green for y-as-a-vowel, blue for consonant digraphs, orange for silent letters, pink for prefixes, red for suffixes). I do studied dictation with Day by Day: I print out the pages, have dd mark the passage SYS-style and copy the passage, and then later in the day she does it from dictation.

domestic_engineer Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 AAS does not have such a book, but @ElizabethB has such a document with all the rules on her website. you might look at this page first for the link to it; http://www.thephonicspage.org/On Spelling/spellinglessonsl.html but I'm pretty sure I got to her spelling rules document through another one of her pages, perhaps her Syllables Spell Success page. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
