I use a separate phonics program for a few reasons. 1 - I already own them. 2 - They have more "fun" activities and games which the younger kids love. 3 - You would need to add in more practice and activities in order to help the sounds stick if you just used the spelling program. It moves fairly quickly for a beginning reader (I think). You'd have to slow it down and I'm not really good at coming up with ideas on my own. <br /><br />The older boys were already reading when they started All About Spelling so it's a review and a way for them to learn the "rules" that phonics doesn't always explain. My 6-yr-old is the first one to come into it as a new reader. He's reading blends and most easy readers so I think he's ready to learn spelling rules.<br /><br />The ChatterBee forum for All About Spelling has a lot of great ideas for using it as a reading program and/or how to use it with younger vs. older kids.<br /><br />I hope that made some sort of sense.crazy4boyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11797982222542135378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2862285040965195607.post-79847712379542807642010-08-01T23:20:22.343-06:002010-08-01T23:20:22.343-06:00Lots of great ideas!

BUt I noticed you still also use separate phonics work.....is that doubling up somewhat or is All About Spelling definitely more spelling than phonics? Does that make sense?Kyliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17974687027083973218noreply@blogger.com
