Ever seen your 14yo write Cience for Science...he has come a long way in his spelling (through much copywork and dictation) but we need something to fill in the cracks.

I also have a dyslexic child who seems to be excellent at memorizing spelling lists (phonics doesn't work here). So I need to find a good set of lists for her.

I was thinking of Spelling Power (as a friend told me how to use it so I could skip the huge TM in the beginning).

Any opinions??

In this discussion I was recommended Spell of Words which was written for dyslexic older children. Perhaps it may be of help?

We use and love Spelling Power. There is a DVD (cheap) that teaches you how to use it to teach. It can get you up and running fast.

I just love Sequential Spelling. Our almost 14 year old has always struggled with spelling. Phonograms have never worked for him. In the past, if I gave him the phonogram "ea" then every EE sound would be written with the "ea" like happea, feal, etc. You get the picture?

He has a great memory so I love Sequential Spelling because in breaks down the words by giving the root. so I always start with remember the root? And then the program adds suffixes and prefixes. We also couple this with dictation. I love this program so much that I moved our 10 year to it even though she is an excellent speller!
Hope this helps...
