I know this is super random, but as a certified teacher, what is your opinion on doing spelling? How do u do that in your homeschool? My kids are going into 6th grade next school year and I am still trying to figure out if we will do spelling the traditional way. I’m leaning more towards learning it the natural way, by reading and writing.
Such a great question - I have added this to my list to do a full video or podcast about! The quick reply answer is that you do NOT have to teach spelling in a certain way. If you go with reading/writing, then you will want to highlight and point out spelling so that they notice it because assuming they'll just pick it up does not always naturally happen. Something simple could be to choose their top 3 favourite new words from what they read in that chapter and to practice writing those out like a spelling list, or creating a spelling dance (think YMCA), or even to write a paragraph or story with those new words in a different context.
