Found some topics with AVKO mentioned. What is it? Sorry, i don’t have a lot of time to go thru the board a lot. Sounds like something that would help my daughter. Phonographix helped, and we need to continue, but BUSY BUSY BUSY. Thanks!!!

Hi np,
Beth from FL can answer this question better than I - and I’m sure she’ll chime in when she sees your post. :-)
From what I remember, AVKO is a method to teach spelling that is called “sequential spelling.” It was written by someone who is dyslexic to teach other dyslexic people to spell. The system starts with a small word, and then builds on it for larger words.
Here is a list from their website for lesson one.

Of course the lessons get more complicated as you go along - there are more examples at their site. The books are relatively inexpensive, too. I think you can just start with the first book if you want to, at $12.95.
