Spelling AO4

What to do for spelling!! Lots of curriculum... ever so much!!

A CMer approaches spelling thru copy work and dictation.


We've added a spelling program I'm so impressed with. IEW (Excellence in Writing) has a spelling program called the Phonetic Zoo. It is an audio program. Lovebug studies a word list of 15 words that follow a phonetic rule. She is tested and corrects her mistakes independent of me. When she makes 100 two days back to back she moved into the next word list.


Every 5 weeks we make our own word list. This is our first go and I made an audio recording just like they have done. Here's her first list.... pulled from her writings to daddy in her Daddy Dialogue...
