Future spelling curriculum grade 3??

[Molly in SC]

Does Memoria Press have any plans to publish traditional spelling for grade 3 +?? Thanks!

They get this question all of the time. To their credit, Traditional Spelling I and II are stand-out programs! To my knowledge, it is still in beta, and as of this spring they thought it was over a year out from general release.

FWIW, we have done a year of Spelling Workout, and it is remarkably similar. We ordered the next level up for SY 20/21. It does the trick, and it's easy to make it close to TS by adding in colorful letters when students still need that. SWO lists words by similar phonograms or spelling rules.

Hello.

We are working on TS III. It will be another year before it is available. I'm hoping to test it in our classrooms this year, and if it goes all right, we will be close to publishing!

Tanya, my 3rd grader and I are happy to test TS3 out for you in our home. Hehe!! Traditional Spelling is a wonderful program! I'm so glad to hear that level 3 will be added. I am currently trying to write colorful letter lists for SWO D words as it was so helpful for us the past two years in learning the spelling rules and words for the week.

We do have a Phonics supplement for Spelling Workout Levels D and E @ $9.95 each.

Michelle T , can you link that please? ? Would love to look into it.

[Michelle T]

We will have to work on a link for that and get it to you later. (Since I'm not quite sure how to do that!) I can tell you the booklet is for the teacher. It details what the student has covered in previous TS books with regard to the main phonics tip in the SWO lesson and gives information regarding all the other phonics within the list words. There are word study questions, as in TS I and II. The words are also syllabicated. In the Supplement for SWO Level E we give more attention to how words of Latin or Greek origin affect the spelling patterns. We did not incorporate colorful words or dictation in these though those activities are definitely helpful for anyone who struggles with spelling.

Michelle T hi, so, this phonics supplement is an in-house product, not MCP? If so, that sounds awesome!

[Michelle T]

It is In-house!

[DiannaKennedy]

So, it's in house, ready to purchase? I heard it mentioned in the Teacher Training, but hadn't had a chance to email about it.

[Michelle T]

It is in house and ready!! The official title is Phonics for Spelling ( Third or Fourth Grade.)

[Colomama]

It would be amazing if y'all added a "new" tab on the drop down options on the site...we'd be able to find all these amazing things quicker. (And send more $$ your way too)

[pickandgrin]

Yes! I'd love to buy this to use this year with third. Even after two years of TS I'm not confident with marking/teaching this. But I'm very good at following a guide. Ha!

I can’t find the Phonics for Spelling Booklet mentioned above - no matter how I search — on Memoria Press Website or any other search.

[Michelle T]

It is likely this is not yet on the website; however you can call in to purchase!
