I am beginning to wonder what exactly is the point of making my oldest do spelling. On Tuesdays she completes the lesson. On Wednesday (some weeks Thursday) she just copies the words. On Friday she has a test.

Now, according to the book she is supposed to have a “pre-test”. I’ve done those, only to discover there is no need for the actual spelling test.

We are using Spelling workout. We are in the second grade book. I hate to jump ahead to the third grade book because of expense and I’m afraid she’ll miss something in the second grade book. But she doesn’t technically need to complete any part of spelling at all.

Maybe in January we will stop spelling and start Latin.
