Hello,
I am a Reading Specialist at a 5-8 middle school. We're looking at selecting a
spelling program and I was wondering if anyone could let me know what programs
they have found to be successful. I've also had difficulty finding research do
spelling and word study at the Middle School
I don't have any research to help, but my school uses Zaner Bloser for
spelling through fifth grade (although we use the 6th grade book for 5th)
which is very, very low prep for teachers but packs in a good bit of
information.
