At the end of last year, I knew we needed a better spelling program. Even before the standardized test at the end of the year, I knew Anna was weak in spelling. She is an excellent reader and very creative, but was still misspelling words like "girl". I have never had trouble spelling, but a lot of people in my family, and some of my very close friends, really struggle with spelling. I do not want that for my girls. So I asked some of the gals over at FIAR (www.fiveinarow.com) and The Well Trained Mind, and I was bombarded with recommendations for All About Spelling. I looked at it and, to tell you the truth, I was put off by the price a little. But I bit the bullet and ordered it. Oh man, am I glad I did!! It has been a blessing. Anna has progressed by leaps and bounds already in 6 short weeks of school. It is not just teaching her a list of words, but it really teaches how to spell. And it doesn't matter what kind of learner your child is. All About Spelling teaches using a fabulous multi-sensory approach. With built in review and a pick-up-and-go teacher's manual, it is all I could have wished for. Best of all, my daughter looks forward to spelling!! Click here for more information.
