How to Teach Spelling in Your Homeschool
Homeschooling is a great opportunity because you can choose the homeschool spelling curriculum that matches your child's needs. As your child's teacher, you decide the method of instruction, how frequent the lessons are, the pace, the intensity, and the amount of review. No one else can do that for your child! For all children, from those needing remedial help to those who are gifted in this area, individualized spelling instruction is an unbeatable choice.

Some programs start testing children right away like at Kindergarten level. However, instead of teaching spelling, a program may add the element of testing.
Teaching spelling is one thing and testing spelling is quite another thing.
