Hello!
This is going to sound like a stupid question – so let me apologize in advanced! We’re a couple weeks into my 2nd grader’s Language Arts curric and I’m kinda over the spelling list! He’s still learning to read and getting phonics down (he’s doing well…but still needs practice) and they’re having him spell 15 words a week such as: much, stretch, batch, catch, such, whiff. It’s just too much! He can read them…remembering words that don’t follow phonics rules is another story.
You’re spelling curriculum looks PERFECT! I’m just wanting to make sure I am going to do it right.
Do the kids need to write the word list once a day as well as the other activities? It almost seems too simple – I’m used to complicated, thus the confusion, lol! Thank you!
Don’t apologize, nothing is a dumb question! The way I write things might not come out exactly how I want you to read them:) We do Monday copy the word list. Tuesday do a page and Wednesday do a page. If I think that the list is too hard, I might throw some letter tiles out and let them practice spelling them. Or I give them four words on Tues to practice spelling and four more on Wednesday, etc etc. That they practice spelling in their heads. By end of week they take the test. If they miss some words I have them copy them 5 times each. Then I ask them the word and have them spell it to me. I mark it on my master spelling list what words they missed and maybe every 5 lessons I might ask them if they know how to spell those words. Spelling comes over time. Don’t stress about it in 2nd grade. Keep reading books and practice writing. They will get the spelling. 🙂
I have three daughters that I homeschool. This is amazing material- thank you doesn’t cover it!
I am glad you can use it. It is just basic but it will get you through what you need. 🙂
I can’t seem to find the rest of your second grade spelling activities. I can only access the spelling list. Are their activities (pages) for 2nd grade spelling or does it just consist of copying the words everyday? Thanks in advance.
On that page you are commenting on, it says..copy on Monday, Tues and Wed, do the two pages included and then Thurs, fold the paper and test:)
Hello, I love your curriculum! Just was wondering if there are some more phonics type lessons that I am missing. I noticed that the 1st grade curriculum ends with the short vowel words and I didn’t notice it going into the long vowels. I downloaded the English grade 2, and I didn’t see it on there. Are the children expected to know how to read most words after the 1st grade curriculum? Just was thinking I may be missing something. Thanks so much!

Hello just wanted to know if there is more phonics curriculum after your grade 1. I did not notice where they would learn the long vowels. Love your courses!
Thanks
I do not, in the courses online, you can download and print the pages from Starfall. That includes the long vowel sounds. In our family we just continue reading easy readers and have had no need for more phonics work. I feel that if you encourage reading with them and to them, that it comes naturally:) I hope that helps! They will get it, if you continue reading with them. I promise:)
I don’t see the link for the spelling? All i see is the word list and the final.
It has been a few days….did you find the link?
Thank you so much for this curriculum. I homeschool my grandchildren and your program has helped my 8 year old grandson so much.
We are just starting the second grade curriculum and it says to look at the book list for second grade but I can’t seem to find it. I may just be overlooking it. I would appreciate your help. Thank you

Thank you so much for doing this. You are a true blessing to me. I am homeschooling 7 children and I do it all alone. Your resources are helping me not feel overwhelmed.
I am glad that they are helpful..they made my life so much easier as well
Hi Amy! If I purchase your second grade curriculum book on amazon, is the spelling course included in that book? or is that something I should print off separately?
It is included in the books:) YOu can view the completed book by downloading the answer keys on my blog here—then you can see exactly what you get:)
