Struggling with finding a way to meet the spelling needs of your child? Are there too many lists and words and you don't know where to start? Schoolhouseteachers.com offers Schoolhouse Spelling to its members with options from Preschool to High School.
My four year old and I have started working through the Preschool Spelling which includes video flash cards of the weekly words and worksheets to practice the words of the week. It is designed to help students learn letter sounds and form words.
The first week reviews 'at' words such as cat, hat and rat. We also made other 'at' words including bat, sat, and mat. In week two, words: bat, mat, sat, and fat will be discussed and practiced.
As my son likes to practice writing, we wrote the words on the white board and on scrap paper for him to practice. During the activity, my daughter also wanted her own list of words and drew her own pictures to go along with her brother.
The week's activities continue with the student drawing a picture of a cat, a hat, and a rat each day while tracing the word.

I found these lessons to be a great introduction to spelling. Both my four year old son and my two year old daughter can review the words together and practice sounds.
The other levels will be just as valuable as they meet the needs of more advanced learners. In the Lower Elementary Grades, students can practice correcting misspelled words and rhyming among other activities. There are also options at the different levels to approach the spelling via a phonics based style or a Charlotte Mason style. They can be used independently or together (one following the other). The lessons also approach the course from a Biblical Worldview offering Bible quotations to learn new spelling words.
