Why We Waited Till 4th Grade To Begin Spelling (Using All About Spelling)

Описание: This is my second time going through level 1 of All About Spelling! My first time I waited till my oldest was in 3rd grade, when he was a proficient reader and began showing a need for spelling and writing. With my second kiddo I waited till 4th grade. She was a later reader but an earlier writer. So while she wanted to write more, words didn't look as correct to her because her reading wasn't as strong. Waiting gave her more time to solidify her reading skills, while taking the pressure off of both of us to add "one more thing". 4th grade has been the perfect time for her to begin All About Spelling because her reading has really taken off and she's at the age where writing is becoming more necessary!

All About Spelling level 1 is a great place to start, even with an older child and will help you get a grasp on how to teach the lessons before they get trickier. I wouldn't skip to level 2 without doing level 1.
