Spelling Program
If you happen to be a person with a strong visual memory you remember how words look. Poor spellers, however, can’t recall how a word should look. In How to Teach Any Child to Spell, Gayle Graham offers a simple solution to the problem: Pull the students’ own misspelled words from the context of their own writing.
Categorize and study those words using the students’ individualized spelling notebooks, Tricks of the Trade.

Gayle outlines four-step, daily spelling lessons that include general phonics review, review of the misspelled words following Gayle's strategy, oral reading incorporating exercises to help the child develop visual perception, and writing time.

As I really began to focus on individualized mistakes my daughter was making in her own writing, I was surprised to see there were groups of commonly misspelled words that began to stand out. It was great to have something to focus on, and know how to help my daughter conquer the specific things that were tripping her up.
I picked up many great tidbits of information from How to Teach Any Child to Spell that I will continue to use no matter which homeschool spelling curriculum we end up with throughout the years.
