I'd briefly tested on how O will react to doing spellings, and he seems to quite like them. Certainly, he prefers these to writing random words on hearing. The words I'd given him are the simpler ones from the words he's been learning from his reading cards (ball, pool) , or the ones he comes across a lot, again, in his reading ( go , like ). I'd found them online but they pretty much repeat what we'd been reading. Today was the second time we did the test, and the words which were the same, were a breeze for him, so, of course, he loved being so fantastically clever as compared with something more difficult he gets to do.
I have high hopes for spelling, in general. Firstly, O seems to have quite a good memory. Secondly, he just likes to record things 'how they should be'. Here's hoping, maybe I'll eat my words.
Anyhow, we will be going to the book shop to find some early spelling books, that we could build on. Yes. The book shop. Our local Waterstones looks so inviting to both boys, that it's one of the most fun parts of our study journey for all of us, who doesn't love shopping, after all!
20 words at the time , for a full lesson, is about right, we found ( we do half - lessons, alternating , when we add on Russian or General Knowledge in process, with Geography in the pipeline )
