[quote=Anonymous]My 3rd grade DD is also a terrible speller but voracious reader. The word study set up just wasn't doing a thing for her in 1st and 2nd grades because she could do it right, can sort words very well, but the lessons never "stuck" with her. After researching things on my own, I decided to try out All About Spelling. It's a heavily phonics based approach and teaches formal spelling rules. My daughter is very good at math and loves applying rules, so this method is working well so far. Plus, it also uses tiles in addition to writing, which works well for us because DD is also a reluctant writer. We are just finishing Level 1, which is completely basic, yet is giving her confidence in her spelling abilities. I'm hoping to get through level 3, if not 4, by the end of this year. Here's a link for AAS: http://www.allaboutlearningpress.com/all-about-spelling[/quote]
