[quote=Anonymous]My son is in 2nd grade, also a terrible speller but a great reader. His school does "Words Their Way," which I really don't like. I feel like he memorizes stuff but doesn't retain it. I know last year, he was definitely NOT retaining words/rules/sounds he had "learned" earlier in the year. This year, he is in the lowest spelling group in his class. Even kids who I tutored last year on 1st grade sight words are in a higher group. His trouble seems to be that he freaks out and simply can't sound out words, esp. when it comes to blended consonant sounds - at either the beginning or end of a word. ("sh" sounds really are trouble.) Would the All About Spelling program be a good fit for us?[/quote]
