In the case of never, ever, se…
My daughter who is 12 resists spelling by syllables, so today when I called out her words in Step 15 I did so by syllables. Now because she is older she had no trouble spelling river, ever, and never. However, I will be using AAS with my 1st grade g…

I would like your suggestion to my daughter Suzanna Christy who is studying First standard in an English Medium School. She needs some motivation to read lessons on her own. What are the methods? Kindly suggest some methods. Thank you.
