Spelling-
All About Spelling We absolutely LOVE this program, and if you haven’t tried it, go see for yourself. It’s a multi-sensory phonics and spelling curriculum that is super easy to use!

Phonics/Reading-
Phonics and reading are something I have to be so creative with. I feel like a smorgis board in this area but, it works for Bug somehow. I make all these programs fit together so I am not doing each curriculum by itself as a whole. She just needs a lot of continuous work in this area.

Go Phonics-  I don't use the handwriting part of the program.(It has a neat handwriting curriculum included) They have games, worksheets, and reading books that go along with each lesson. I add the Orton Gillingham approach with the sounds. I like the worksheets because they are not so busy as other programs. They don't get carried away with to many questions. The print is large with lots of writing space!
