She also is really good at the common core math strategies (eg double double for x4 or x8). Similar strategy - oral drills, then written practice. Multiplication-math facts - we took this on after the success with spelling. Now that she’s older and writes more, I see that she still makes many spelling errors writing spell check helps, but we haven’t figured out a real strategy. She also remembers spelling by saying the words as they are spelled, like saying pee-oh-plea to remember ‘people’. She improved a lot & now gets As and Bs on spelling tests. We’d do this every night, or more realistically 2-3 nights per week.

I drill her on her spelling list out loud, then have her write out (5-10 times) any words she missed. Spelling - we really took this on in 3rd or 4th. Since no one else has replied, here’s what’s worked for us. I’d love to know if there’s a name for this, or an established treatment/education strategy for her. My daughter (now 12) has the exact same set of issues. (The family already knows about the special education assessment process and IEP services available through the school district.) If you are familiar with an educational therapy program or educational clinic in the East Bay that has effectively helped students with rapid naming and memory encoding/storage/recall problems, please let me know.

His family is interested in getting private educational therapy for him. Recalling math facts quickly is still a struggle. Also, in the last two years, the family had to spend many hours practicing the multiplication table with him before he was able to commit it to memory. With spelling, he might spell a simple word three different ways on the same writing assignment. If he tries to read aloud quickly, he would make errors in the prefix or ending of the words. When he reads aloud, he has to read very slowly in order to say the words correctly. His phonemic awareness is fine, but he struggles with rapid naming tasks. Despite lots of hard work and countless hours of help from adults, his spelling is still far below grade level. He reads for hours in his free time! However, he has always struggled with spelling and with memorizing/recalling math facts. He likes school, wants to learns, and loves to read. I know this wonderful 10-year-old boy who is thoughtful, well-liked, intelligent, and motivated.
