I want to share with you how we use Spelling Power in our homeschool. This is our first year using it, and it’s going great so far! Both my first grader and third grader are becoming better spellers because of it!

I know a few fun activities you can do with your spelling words. 1. Ghost words- they write each word with a white crayon and then color over it with any color marker. It is like magic and my students love it. 2. Dice roll. You make a chart (assign each number on the dice a different color). They roll the dice and whatever number the dice lands on they write their word in that color.

Sounds intriguing. I've never heard of this one before.

This was a great video. I own a daycare and I try to introduce a lot of the curriculum into my home daycare the from ages 2 to 3. Thanks for this info and I look forward to Mondays for your awesome content.

We don’t use a curriculum but if we find one that helps I’ll use one with my kids!!! It takes longer than a week for my kids to learn words!!! We do a phonics approach to spelling without a curriculum. I like the idea of copying them out in a sentence!!! I like the idea of carrying a word over to the next week!!! Get them to wire oldest words at some point maybe not in selling time.

I like the idea to ask them to use sentences with all five words! That would definitely be tough but it’s a fun way to get them thinking! You’re doing a great job! :)

It would have been helpful to see the book to get more of an idea for what this curriculum is like. Thanks!

I know how it is to be quite while baby is sleeping. I often watch yt with no sound and just captions because of that.

I'm glad you found a program you like. Spelling power did not work for us. The real test for us was if they spelled the words correctly in their daily writing. We did not see an improvement when we used Spelling Power. We used Sequential Spelling (for 3rd child) & Spelling u see( tweaked to fit us) (for 4th child) and saw huge improvements. Time is a big consideration when picking curriculum. I will be curious to see how well you like SP at the end of the year.

I let the kids write "silly stories" using their spelling words. We also call them "nonsense" sentences.

What edition do you use?

Very interested in using this next year. Rebought the book for a $1 with some used curriculum. My question is how do you cover spelling rules or do you not go worry about those or go over them?

My mom used spelling power with me as a kid also 😁

Do you use the activity task cards?

My 8 year old is finally ready to do spelling. Are you still using this same 5 day process for Spelling Power? I assume you still do Explode The Code too in addition to spelling right?
