Is this program on that the school must purchase or can individual
teachers use it?

I use Rebecca Sitton too and think it does a great job. The children
learn
both the commonly written words and spelling patterns. The program
is weak
on spelling pattern above the third grade level so I supplement with
weekly
making words activities. The program is aimed at transferring the
correct
spelling into writing immediately and there is no Monday to Friday
list to
memorize. It's probably as close to an authentic spelling program
as I have
seen in my 28 years in the classroom in several different grade
levels.
Best,

Hi Michelle,
We are using Rebecca Sitton. A committee of teachers in our
district spent
a year investigating spelling programs and found this one to be the
most
authentic for learning words that are most often used in our
writing (they
call them priority words) and then you can customize the list based
on
content or frequently misspelled words from your writing workshop,
etc.

Subject: [MOSAIC] contents Mosaic digest question regarding spelling
Hello
This is the first time I have asked for advice. I have been a
member for
years and read it regularly. I am in charge of putting together a
spelling
curriculum for a lower school that includes 3rd-6th grade. Do you
have
advice of spelling programs, books or activities (and listst) that
you have
found beneficial to help keds get inside the words rather than just
memorizing them for the test? I am interested in a SOUND approach
that is
grade level appropriate for 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th. Thanks for any
advice
or help.
