I highly recommend this spelling curriculum!
We've only gone through five days' worth so far, but the system seems to be working really well for us.
The author developed this system for kids who have issues with dyslexia (and related learning issues). As you can see from the cover, they start you out with very basic roots and you add parts to them. No matter what grade level you are in elementary school, they start you out at level one of the curriculum because each one builds on the prior foundation.
Day one, you ask the student to write "beginning" no matter how they write it and don't correct them. Hide the sheet of paper and pull it out on day five.
Our list today contained 20 words based on the root "in", "be" and words with "ee." NM missed only two of them! Beginning was one he missed, but he was intimidated by the length of it more than anything. He realized how to work that word once I showed him.
That's such a boost for him when you consider his normal average is to get 50-60% correct on his spelling test which usually had 12 words plus 4 bonus ones.
"It's a good system," he said when I pointed out the statistics to him, "it must be working."
