There is another program that is implemented in the same way: Apples & Pears by Sound Foundations. It used to be discussed regularly on the WTM forums, but is not well advertised in the US.
Thank you so much for sharing your insights on the different curriculum you use. You have such a calm and thorough way of explaining things. I have a little boy who will be 7 in August and attends a public school. He will be entering 2nd grade in the fall if world circumstances allow. After "schooling at home" for the past 2 months, I can see just how much he struggles with reading, spelling, and writing. After seeing this video I think I will explore Spelling USee to help give a boost in this subject. Our district uses handwriting without tears. He is a lefty and has a different pencil grip that we have been trying to correct for 2 yrs. Unfortunately, I have to give him a 100 word spelling assessment next week for regular school. He is not ready and becomes very frustrated. Thanks again and I look forward to future videos. Please keep sharing!
Thank you! Definitely check out Spelling You Sees other levels (I’m hoping to do other reviews on them soon!). The chunking system was a game changer for my struggling speller!
@@EverydayHomeschooler I can hear him trying to sound out words, but still sounds out each letter. He also gets stuck on the different "rules" that have been taught so far. Thanks for replying. 😊
Wow! I had a very unfavorable opinion of this program until I watched your excellent review. Thank you for the thorough walk-through and great advice for implementing the program!
Thank you for this detailed video of level A. I’m using this level for my daughter this year. It is our first homeschooling year!!! One question I have is my daughter finishes a lesson before the suggested 10 minutes is up. Do I stop at that point or should I go on to the next lesson?
I would say to stop. I would also consider skipping some lessons and moving her ahead in the workbook. It might be a signal that she is ready for work that is a little more challenging and takes the full 10 mins.
I actually asked Dr. Karen, the author of SYS and HC that same question! She said to use Happy Cheetah exclusively and then once you finish that program start your child in Spelling You See Book C.
I do not use any formal writing curriculum with my kids until later in elementary school. If you mean handwriting, this is just meant for spelling, I would still use a handwriting curriculum alongside it. We love handwriting without tears.

Thank You I just got it ❤
Thank you for walking me through ❤️
Thanks for watching ☺️
This is a fantastic review!! Thanks so much for being so thorough! I've been looking into this for my son, and this really helped =)
So glad it was helpful!
This was a very helpful review! I like how thorough into detail it went.
Thanks!!!

Thank you! I've been trying to find a video walking me through a lesson, this was great! My boys start next week :)
Thanks for watching!
Can it be doable 3-4 x a week? Looking for a flexible curriculum with our schedule.Thank you for the great review!
Yes!
Excellent review. So organized and thoughtful. Thank you! Do you also do a review of B?
Not yet. I’ve done videos on A & D (and happy cheetah too!)
Great video; very concise and informative!
Thank you!
Thank you, that was informative!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you! We LOVE Spelling You See! Do you ever skip Dictation #2 if your child gets Dictation #1 100%.
Absolutely!
Do you do this with the happy cheetah curriculum? Or do you think happy cheetah has enough spelling on its own?
I actually asked Dr. Karen, the author of SYS and HC that same question! She said to use Happy Cheetah exclusively and then once you finish that program start your child in Spelling You See Book C.
@@EverydayHomeschooler thank you so much!!
Should the teacher have the child make corrections for any words that are spelled incorrectly? What do you recommend?
Yes I always help my child to spell it correctly as soon as possible. We don’t move on to the next word until it is right.
Can this double as a writing curriculum as well?
I do not use any formal writing curriculum with my kids until later in elementary school. If you mean handwriting, this is just meant for spelling, I would still use a handwriting curriculum alongside it. We love handwriting without tears.
Would this work for a mostly non verbal child?
Hmm… Since it focuses so much on visual memory I would think yes, but i would definitely encourage you to reach out to Spelling You See or Dr Holinga.
@@EverydayHomeschooler thanks
Great vid. New sub. Thanks.
Welcome! And thanks so much for watching!
