The spelling curriculum we had been using (like most spelling curriculums) was essentially teaching my daughter to memorize letters in order. What in the world was going on?! Why Spelling Lists Don’t Work For Some Kids I seriously considered that she might be dyslexic, but she didn’t have any issues with reading – in fact, she was reading well above grade level. For example, she would write “gril” instead of “girl.” She would also ask for help with words that she had spelled correctly on a spelling test weeks before.Īnd even weirder, she would often have all the letters for the word, but 2 of them would be flipped.

She kept asking me how to spell words and got very frustrated when I told her to try and sound it out. If you had asked me that year how spelling was going, I would have said, “Awesome! She’s a super star speller!”Īs we progressed into the next year and my daughter started doing more of her own writing – not copywork – problems started to pop up. My daughter was consistently acing her spelling test every Friday and we were sailing through the year with no issues. We were using a highly recommended spelling curriculum that I felt good about. My first year of teaching spelling in my homeschool went perfectly…or so I thought. This is a full, thorough, and super honest All About Spelling review and I know it will answer every question you have and give you all the information you need to make an informed decision for your kids and your homeschool! I was failing to teach spelling but didn’t know it… We are nearly done with All About Spelling 2 and I have already purchased All About Spelling 3 for next year! It took me three tries, but I finally purchased a curriculum that truly works. Are you looking for the best spelling curriculum for homeschoolers?
