Spelling You See - Level E

We've been using Spelling You See for nearly five years now, and only recently have I truly grasped its effectiveness! Writing and spelling are often challenging subjects for young learners due to its complexity and repetitiveness. This program focuses on three key components: reading passages, chunking (identifying vowels, consonants, bossy r's, endings, etc.), and copy work (dictation and memorization at the end of each lesson). What I've come to realize is the remarkable power of chunking. While my kids may be growing a bit weary of it, we're witnessing tangible results! When we're out and about, my son will inquire about how to spell something, and I'll respond with hints like "there is a bossy r in there" or "it's a vowel team." My 4th grader is spelling long and tricky words that even I have to look up to see if it’s correct. We're beginning to see the fruits of our efforts, and it's truly rewarding!

I think one of my favorites parts of this curriculum is the colored pencils! They are seriously a game changer in leaning spelling. The lessons are wonderful as well. I have very hands-on, visual learners, so the way this curriculum is laid out is perfect for them.

This has been a game-changer for my child's spelling abilities, utilizing a multisensory approach that has significantly improved her skills. The program's emphasis on visual and kinesthetic learning has made spelling engaging and effective, leading to noticeable progress.

This is repetitive and great for kids who need the practice everyday. For one of my kids she does this daily, for my other she doesn't need each daily lesson so we do letters a, b, and d since she's is good at remembering her spelling words. We thought about switching to AAS but didn't since we are covering some of the stuff in AAR.

I like the layout of the workbooks and the color coded chunks being consistent. My kids like these because they can do it on their own and like to highlight the color coded parts. I feel like it’s more handwriting practice rather than spelling, but as handwriting practice, it’s fantastic.
