My dd has always struggled with spelling.  She would ask how to spell a word and then the very next day get it wrong again.  I was always unsure at how to teach it.  All I knew was the way I had been taught spelling in school; you're given a list of words to memorize for a test at the end of the week.
Well, knowing that my dd is a visual learner, I decided to give Sequential Spelling a try.

Their approach is very visual, grouping the words in such a way that patterns are easily visible.  Also, a new list is given every day, in each lesson and the child corrects their own work seeing any mistakes right away.  I wondered how this would work, having no test to study for, but as it turns out, it is very effective.

My dd came to me the other day and said that the spelling we had been doing was helping her to know how to spell words! Yay! That's what it's all about!  It's so exciting when they are excited about it too and able to realize that they're actually putting something to use.

We're using sequential spelling to and it is working fabulously!! Isn't it so great to find something that really makes them feel good about what they're learning :)

Hi there. It sounds good, I am happy you all have some success stories to share. [0=

How are you feeling ? Good I hope.

Sending you blessings and ((hugs)) my SSiC

Ever since Sonlight switched to this, I've wondered about it. Great to hear your story with it. Fortunately, Spelling Power seems to still be a hit around here. I'm glad since that's what I already had.
