I have the same problem with my daughter. She is younger than your son (almost 8) and she doesn't mind writing, but she is always in such a hurry that it comes out very, very sloppy! Recently I noticed that while doing AAS she became bogged down wit…

Hi Brenna--Miranda is correct, this is a schwa sound. Here's a discussion on the schwa sound that you might be interested in. HTH! Merry :-)

Brenna, I think this is a schwa sound - that "uh" sound. In our lessons we talk about it, and pronounce for spelling for them to learn the spelling. Does it mention the schwa sound in the beginning part of the book? Miranda

The sounds of 'A'

I'm just wondering if I'm missing something. Both of my daughters are using AAS Level 1 and one of them is about to finish it. One thing that I have noticed that seems to be missing is teaching one of the sounds of the letter 'A'. Why is the short-u sound of 'A' not listed on the yellow phonogram card, like in the word "America." Is this sound taught later on in a different level?

VT is Video Text: http://www.videotext.com/homeschool.htm Yep, given my girls are so visually oriented I had to admit that they might actually learn better from it too. The little bitty text in most the books I bought is not appealing, that is for…

What is VT? I just found out that my library has Life of Fred so I've put the 1st 2 books on hold so I will be able to check them out before I buy! You might want to check your library. I'm not sure LOF will work for my daughter with dyslexia unle…

Beth, I actually still haven't bought it. It is still on my list of things I would love to see in hand, but it has slipped a little. Only because after my oldest dd, all the rest have reading issues that, well they aren't that bad, but LOF just se…

Hey Heather, just wondering what you think about Life of Fred at this point. I just came across it and think it might be a good fit for my son who is a good reader and loves silliness. He is good at math but gets bored with all the repetition in Mat…

Karen B. replied to Ann Haker's discussion 'Tips and Tricks' in the group All About Spelling - Level 2
Those are great tips. Something I have done with the kids I tutor to help them remember when "c" or "g" is supposed to be soft is to teach them "e, i, e, i, y" set to the Old McDonald tune. It has worked like a charm! I hope a lot more of you will s…
