EPISODE #39: Why We Ditched the Spelling Lists & Use All About Spelling Instead
Are you struggling with how to teach spelling in your homeschool? We did for years – especially with a child that has dyslexia (although we didn’t know it at the time!).
Here’s why we ditched the spelling lists and turned to All About Spelling instead. In this podcast, we’ll discuss:
- Why the traditional 20-spelling words a week really doesn’t produce competent spellers
- All about the Orton-Gillingham approach to teaching spelling
- Why AAS works
- How we use AAS
And for the visual learners out there, here’s a short video showing the inside of the AAS program and all its pieces.
Here’s a list of resources mentioned on today’s episode:
- All About Spelling
- I Don’t Use Printables (and you shouldn’t either)
- 5 More Reasons Why I Don’t Use Printables
- Download “Six Ways We Make Spelling Easy”
- Download a Placement Test
- FREE Snowman Activity Pack
