Let's Talk... Spelling Curriculum

Today is Day 4 of my Let's Talk Curriculum posts and today i'm talking about Spelling Curriculum...

I started out using All About Spelling with my kids, but this year i changed it up and ordered Spelling You See. Here are my thoughts on both of these products.

All About Spelling

Pros:

• Teaches you how to spell, versus just a list of words to memorize.
•  Lessons are scripted.
• Hands on learning.

Cons:

• There are so many different parts to it, that it was kinda confusing for me to teach.

Spelling You See

Pros:

• Fun stories and nursery rhymes used to teach spelling skills.
• Lots of copywork, which also helps with handwriting. (killing 2 birds with 1 stone, love that!)

Cons:

• The teacher handbook is like pamphlet size, so you are really on your own as to how to go about teaching the lessons.

I'm going to finish up the year using both of these products, but as far as next year is concerned i'm not sure what i'm going to do yet.

Now it's your turn, what's your favorite spelling curriculum?
