    I am considering Megawords for my older ds (NOT a natural speller) for this coming year, but I am wondering how long to expect each lesson to take, and how often we should schedule it through the week.  Can anyone tell me how YOU use it?

    You might take a look at the table of contents and see how many lessons there are. Then see how many days a week it would take to complete. You may also be able to figure out how long it will take each day from the samples. We did it daily if I remember correctly.

    It is for a 4th grader or above you are planning?

    6th grader — sorry, should have said that.  Ill have to see if I can find the table of contents online.  It seems the sample I looked at had something like 18-20 pages per lesson.  I cant see a lesson taking only one week.

    No, a word list takes much more than a week even doing it every day.

    I have my books to get started soon w/my soon-to-be 6th grader, but I haven’t looked through them yet to gauge a schedule.

    Perhaps I can try to do that and get back w/you.
