Apologies for repetition. I posted this by mistake on the education forum (still finding my way around MN!) and would like some more advice as I'm struggling to find logic. DC is in year one and just turned 6, reading age of 7.3 and normal ability.
Main issues
Spelling lists which follow RWI and are driving me insane as so hard to learn. eg this week we had the "oy & oi" sounds
Sounds oi & oy
Disappointed
annoying
would
voice
checkpoints
choices
joyfullness
avoiding
marmalade
I feel my child is struggling with very basic spelling of words when writing (these have never been covered in school as RWI level determined by reading age test) and that the words given weekly are of very little benefit. School response is they know best and the weekly spellings are specific to RWI.
Any advice please, TIA
