For Spelling, I just wouldn't worry. Your DS like mine, simply doesn't need to learn to spell - and IMO that's just fine. I think the Math is trickier. My guy amazes me with his Arithmetic ability, and in some ways just doesn't fit into any typical Math curriculum. I'm learning though, that if I allow him to whiz on too far (school is allowing him to skip from 1st to 3rd and he's top in the class at that), he'll miss out on certain terminology and parts of the Math curriculum that he's going to need later. So I'm trying to be cautious, and find meanwhile that for the most part he creates his own level/challenging appropriate Math problems .... usually in the back of the car!
