I'm adding this here because I forgot to mention spelling in my total curriculum. We started using spelling in the fourth grade for our first daughter. We love the curriculum & continued this year. We already have next years books!
Our second daughter is doing VERY well with her spelling in second grade. The phonics course really gives the foundation kids need for spelling! We will keep this child in R&S spelling again this year!!
Lessons are simple, fast, easy to understand. Tests are easy to administer! The kids have a great sense of accomplishment without having to do 'excessive' work!

I love, love, love Rod and Staff Spelling. I love that it constantly reviews spelling rules. Lessons are short. I don't have to plan ahead at all. The curriculum itself is very inexpensive. My son's spelling has improved so much since beginning this program. It is a winner!

This is a great spelling program . Very well set up . Doesn't take long to do and my daughter's loved it .
I can say though that this spelling program is a year behind most other spelling programs we've used . So the 2nd grade can easily be used for a 1st grader .
I really think having the manual helps as it has sentences for the words in each lesson for the tests . Which are a big help if sometimes you just can't come up with a good sentence for a word .
I highly recommend this spelling program.

I like Rod and Staff's Spelling. It's easy to use because it's set up to open and go, but my children seem to be bored with it. Too repetitive for us. You do the same thing with each chapter. So I've since turned to Natural Speller and that has worked out much better for us.
