Hi, I’m not a fan of Abeka, but for no good reason. I feel like Abeka and my kids do not work well together. However, I use AAR and AAS. I use AAR for my son who is severely dyslexic. It is a really good program for him, but I don’t know if I would use it for a regular Ed child. I think your child might find the word lists tedious. That said, I absolutely swear by AAS. My kids were horrible spellers and once I put them in AAS they learned the rules and the whys of spelling and they could think through the spelling process. Plus the lessons are arranged so that you can just work on a short section or work along with the child’s ability. And you can spend as long as necessary in the lesson or work along at their pace. I’ve used countless spelling programs and AAS is the one that really worked for my kids. Hope that helps.
