I don't know if she was taught nonsense words, but she was definitely tested on the nonsense words. That's one of the things she did not do very well on. She just doesn't have a good grasp of English language rules/spelling - at least not compared to her oral comprenhension. (Probably because she hates to read so she doesn't see the words very often!) :-)
Right this second (though I change my mind every half hour or so) I'm thinking that we should just try to find ways to address this on our own this summer, as opposed to a formal "program." But I feel incredibly underqualified...how in the world do we help her?
Amy, do you know if there is a system or program for teaching these nonsense words? Or maybe we just need a basic phonics program....
