I am a little shame-faced to admit I avoided looking into this program because of the name. I just didn't like it. It sounded too Supermanish or L. Ron Hubbardish. Instead I chewed through spelling programs, and still both kiddo and I found spelling to be our worst subject.I finally tried SP (after SWR, AAS, R&S Spelling, a Mott Media book, SWO, and SWS&V ... and lest I sound like a curriculum hopping Mama, I've only used one math program for the last 5 years .... only spelling was our bugaboo), and I got the third edition to save some money.The intro is easy to read, easy to outline, and common-sensical once you got the over-all picture. A few times through with my card of steps, and now I could do it in my sleep.Some thoughts: 1) this book is for after phonics are down pat. Age 7-9 depending on child would be earliest start time. 2) Child really focuses on the misspelled words. Not every word is ground through to the point of tears. 3) Best done at least 5 days a week, but with short times. 4) The notebooks, IMO, are worth it. 5)Don't let the name and the fact it is one book (not a whole series with cards and magnet letters, etc) turn you away. 6) The placement tests are not painful, and are EASY to interpret. 7) You, as teacher, should know the spelling rules (I think this true of any program, but you should know them from the get-go to be effective from the get-go; you can find them online. I just used the Spell to Write and Read rules I already had.)(ETA: I have since read Unlocking the Logic of English. This is an excellent overview of the spelling rules, and easy to make a cheat sheet from.)The rewards: 1) Kiddo is a better proofreader, speller, and writes more on his own because his confidence is up.
