We are using Beyond this year and for the first part of the year we used the spelling list 2. (DS was able to spell the list 1 words from the first units. I didn't do spelling last year). We're now on unit 16, and are using the words from list 1. Does anyone know if list 2 from Beyond is also in Bigger? If not, should I start next year with list 2 from Beyond. Looking back, I guess I should have just used list 1 all year, somehow I though I could get him caught up, so that we could finish the year with list 2.

I apologize for the ramble - thank you for taking time to read it. Spelling is not been a strong point of mine, so I want to give ds a good foundation. Any ideas / tips / advice is very much welcome.

Thank you,
Amanda

Amanda,

Yes, spelling list 2 is one of the options in Bigger...it has the same words as in Beyond list 2. The other option is dictation.

I think you could finish up this year in list 1, then next year start list 2 from Bigger where you think your son fits (whether that be at the very beginning for more review/practice or towards the middle of the lists). When he completes that, you could move on to dictation. Anyway, that is what comes to my mind

Thank you, Tammy. I appreciate your help!

Have a blessed week,
Amanda
