The 6th grade Language Arts teacher is allowing DS10 to "test out" of the spelling words for the 9 wks. He gets an opportunity to study them for a few days and then test. Some pretty tricky words...my spelling has really gone to pot as I age. She'll have him do Caesar's English and another book called "The Word Within the Word" by M.C. Thompson (Royal Fireworks Press) that was recommended by William & Mary College. I'm looking at it now, because she said I could take it home for a few days. It's very good--maybe too advanced because it reminds me of SAT questions, analogies, etc. I think it's pretty intimidating (maybe my sophomore could benefit from it), but we'll see what happens.
