Lux Et Veritas Academy Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I need a spelling program for a 5th grader that is structured and easy to use that a child can work on his own with. We have been using sequential but it doesn't seem to be doing anything for him, maybe because I am so infrequent with it. I just want a 5 day a week program. How about an online program? Anything out there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Spelling by Sound and Structure (Rod and Staff Publishers) can be done very independently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susie in MS Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 R&S like Ellie said is good and you can see samples here: http://www.rodandstaffbooks.com/item/165--/?list=Rod_and_Staff_Grade_5 Also CLP's Building Spelling Skills is really good.
