We didn't do all of the extra activities recommended, but mostly just the spelling itself. I was really happy with it. It didn't work at all with my son, who really is doing well with All About Spelling. I was hoping to get by with Spelling Power for both kids, but my son has dyslexia and needs what AAS provides. Anyway, hope things go well with Spelling Power. It was nice for us to get so many years out of just one book!Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05977860195847730169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1045038197129080180.post-38106251932121116332009-07-23T16:23:11.990-05:002009-07-23T16:23:11.990-05:00Joy, I've been sold on Spelling power by many ...Joy, I've been sold on Spelling power by many homeschoolers, and hope to see it work it's magic here as well.<br /><br />Julie, good to know I have company along this new spelling path. I agree that most of the teacher time is up front, which we have just done these last couple days. I just tweaked my schedule to include 15 minutes of spelling (5 minutes times three - for each child). We'll see how it goes, if they can do the 10 minutes on their own once they know what they are doing. Thanks for your sweet words, they mean a lot to me. :-)<br /><br />~Erin6intowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09876114074346230740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1045038197129080180.post-67456040116212424392009-07-23T12:05:15.448-05:002009-07-23T12:05:15.448-05:00Erin,

I'm assuming that once you get past where you place each child it's not that teacher intensive. The child is only spending 15 minutes a day in the program. I think it's just a bit overwhelming at first because there are quite a few steps to find out exactly where to start each child. <br /><br />I'm hoping it's a good spelling curriculum for us!!<br /><br />Also, I'm just reading the Quick Start Steps chapter and then I'll go to the other chapters as I need them. So, really I shouldn't have to read all 100 pages just to start up.<br /><br />I enjoy your blog. You always give such wonderful suggestions and encouragement.<br /><br />THANKS.<br /><br />Julie VercouterenJulie V.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1045038197129080180.post-56977403186626651772009-07-23T09:53:37.058-05:002009-07-23T09:53:37.058-05:00We use SpellQuizzer, too, and love it.

Looking forward to seeing how it works for you!Joy @ Five J'shttp://fivejs.comnoreply@blogger.com
