Sequential Spelling

Sequential Spelling is awesome. Ezekiel's worst subject has always been spelling. No matter what I do/have done he always struggles. I have tried everything. Finally, I came across an article somewhere(Maybe on Claire's Blog) that suggested sequential spelling for children that have difficulty in the areas Ezekiel does. I kind of looked at it and thought maybe I would finish what I was using this year and then try it out next year. So, I went several more weeks of pulling my hair out, hating spelling, and not being able to figure out what would finally get through to him. Finally, I decided that the book and method we were using were getting us nowhere, and I bought the first Sequential Spelling book. I could not be happier. Spelling is stress free, Zeke is actually learning and life is good. I recommend Sequential Spelling for anyone who has a kid who just doesn't seem to be figuring out spelling the way most curriculum's present it.

Yep, I totally agree! This is what we use for Nathan, and it is so stress-free now. I wish I had started it in first grade with him, LOL. Would have saved me a bunch of trouble!
