I see no spelling

I'm really glad we didn't wait to start All About Spelling.  The first 8 lessons, out of 24 in Level 1, have gone by without a problem.  The first few lessons focused on spelling certain words using the letter tiles and tokens, included in the interactive kit, to segment the words to hear each letter sound.  She started writing the words a couple lessons ago.  I really thought this subject would be a struggle for some reason, but it's actually quite fun.  Maddie even brought me her box last Saturday and wanted to do another lesson.

Here she is proudly showing her spelling words.  The words that have a line through and written correctly next to it were self-corrected by her.


Then she wanted more words to write, and did it covering her eyes and giggling the whole time.  She got all the letters right, just in random places all over the page.  I love it when she gets in these silly, slap-happy moods.


She also really likes to color in the progress sheet after she completes a lesson, it really gives her a sense of accomplishment.  She is currently working on 3 letter words and will soon be on to more challenging words.



Yes, in case you were wondering, she is still in her pajamas.  What seems to work best for us is to get started right after breakfast, that way we can complete a few subjects and work in the others throughout the day.
