Free Report & Articles from All About Spelling

general

13 Jul

Last fall, I was given the opportunity to join up with 99 other bloggers to review educational materials.  Most of the material I liked well enough to recommend, but most of it I did not keep for our little school.   There were only a few items that passed my high quality, non-twaddle, not-boring-at-all test. 

All About Spelling was one of our keepers. 

 

 

You see, we have very (!) phonetic spellers in our little school. The children would naturally think to spell "read" as "rede" before they think to spell it correctly, because they were taught the rule that "if a word ends in 'e,' the vowel says its name."   It's been frustrating to try to teach them how to spell correctly through the traditional approach of spelling lists.  Reading great books wasn't working, either.  I simply needed spelling to make sense!

I checked out a few other spelling programs for the review process, but only kept All About Spelling.  The program is super simple for the teacher to implement and interesting enough to keep the student engaged.  As a result of using the program, our students are spelling above average. 

Here's how it works:

The All About Spelling program brings together three pathways to learning – auditory (hearing), visual (seeing), and kinesthetic (touching).  This multisensory approach, combined with a built-in review system and reinforcement activities, ensures that students retain what they learn and understand how to apply it in practical situations.

 All About Spelling has many articles for educators on its main site (click on Articles at the top of the page).  There is also a free report…

And, this is worth mentioning, too…All About Spelling is  offering a one-time, never-again sale of 25% off their newest book, Level 5.  I need to get that one, too. We'd better hurry, because their sale ends next Saturday, July 18th. 

And, don't take my word for it!  If you have question or want more opinions, visit the ChatterBee:

Balancing Homeschooling while Working From Home

At times, well-intentioned advice suggests that dedicating an entire day to homeschooling leaves no room for a job during regular hours. This is not necessarily so. My husband and I owned a garden center for a few years while also homeschooling. After that, I had an online business while homeschooling. We did not “only work … Read More about Balancing Homeschooling and Working From Home – a Realistic Approach

making the transition from public school to homeschool

We did what you’re doing, or thinking about doing. Our eldest two went to public school in our little town, and it was just fine, we didn’t have any problems, but I missed them. Also, it was a hassle packing up the baby and toddler to commute the school kids from two different school locations, … Read More about Going from Public School to Home School? Here’s My Advice
