walkermamaof4 Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Could you compare the two for me? My dd has special needs. We've used Sequential and others and she just doesn't apply it to her writing at all. Any thoughts? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jensway Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Well I can't compare the 2, as I haven't used A & P. I have used AAS just this past year with my special needs son and it has really been a good fit for him. He is spelling things much more on his own and is making great progress.:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiffany k Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I used Apples and Pears last year and this past Fall. I liked how it was laid out. I switched to AAS in March. I think AAS works better for my son because he can apply the rules, which are so simply presented and reviewed each day. It has the dictation that I enjoyed most about A&P and doesn't have the British themes or vocabulary. The tiles are a great bonus to AAS as well, at least we find them so. My son doesn't have a LD, so I can't answer in regards to that. We went through Level 1 quickly because he did have a good spelling foundation and he is gaining a lot of confidence in Level 2 now. HTH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy C Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 We used Apples and Pears and then switched to AAS. My ds was learning to spell with A&P, but wanted to know why words were spelled the way they are. He likes knowing the rules, which are taught with AAS. Amy C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
