Hmmm - we were not told the name of our program but DS has "word sort" homework and a test on it - it is their spelling program. DS is pretty low in spelling (dysgraphic) so he is on pictures... sorts pictures into long a, short a sounds. Each week is different sound. As bad as he is at spelling he has no trouble with this and doesn't do the practice at home (like he is suppose to ) and still gets 100 on the test. They are doing all sorts of stuff to be in line with the common core at his school so I assume it's part of it....
