We just started it, but I really like this program so far. My kids dreaded spelling before and now they are enjoying it. I am also glad to have a program they can use together. The only reason I can't give it 5 stars yet is because we haven't used it long enough to see if it works - (the kids remember the words long term.)

There was once a time that I wholeheartedly recommended this spelling program. However, that is no more. I used this program with three different students for about a year. They were three very different students- one ace speller, one in need of serious remedial spelling help, and one who was right on track in spelling. I recommended this program before because it was fun, easy, the boys enjoyed it, is relatively inexpensive, requires no teacher prep, gives immediate feedback, can be used for multiple students easily, is not consumable, and was pretty easy to complete each day. Turns out, it was too good to be true. My ace speller was terribly bored. My remedial speller made very little to no progress. My on track speller began slipping behind. I believe this is because this spelling program is completely lacking- spelling rule training phonics training segmenting/syllable training My students learned little other than how to change a few letters to make a new word in a word family. This training didn't stick. In their daily writing I often saw misspelled words that we had already covered in their spelling tests. I wouldn't even recommend using this program along with a supplemental program that covers all it's missing. In my opinion it's simply missing exactly what it claims to teach- spelling training.

I love Sequential spelling. It was the simplest way to teach my non-spelling son how to spell. Cheap, easy to use and straightforward!

My daughter was terrible at spelling yet, excelled in reading! Every time we pulled out a spelling book she burst into tears. In desperation I looked for another program and saw yours at a Homeschool Conference. I purchased sequential spelling - she has had marked improvement and loves it. It just makes sense.

This is the proper way to learn spelling; in spelling families. I taught my oldest this way but had no curriculum 15 years ago and she is an awesome speller. Most spelling programs make no sense as they are just random lists. Sequential spelling is easy and complete.
