Spelling Strategies Program

The Spelling Strategies Program is aimed at learners, around 10 years of age to adults, who don't feel confident with writing due to poor spelling ability.

  • Online spelling subscription that you can work through at your own pace. 

  • Video lessons that strategically teach essential spelling strategies and reliable rules that cater for people who are poor spellers. 

  • Workbooks, word lists, quizzes and dictation sentences that reinforce learning from the video lessons. 

  • Perfect for: parents supporting a child at home, upper-primary and high school literacy intervention, tutoring and self-improvement with spelling. 

  • "I have used the Spelling Strategies Program with huge success with many of my students and recommend it widely, to schools, parents and teachers. I cannot praise and recommend the Spelling Strategies Program highly enough."

    With over two decades of teaching experience and my role as a literacy intervention coordinator, I’ve been helping teachers, tutors, parents, and even speech pathologists turn spelling struggles into success stories. My Spelling Strategies Course is a hit, endorsed by SPELD SA, and used by parents, and schools, all around Australia. And let me tell you, there’s nothing more rewarding than hearing people say, “Wow, that actually makes sense!” when they finally discover the logic behind our English spelling system.

    So, if you’re ready to take the first step toward spelling confidence, let’s get started. Your words are waiting to be set free—let’s make sure they’re spelled right when they do!

    Why I created Spelling Academy

    If spelling has ever felt like a never-ending riddle, trust me, I’ve been there. As a teenager, I spent more time wrestling with words than I did watching TV (and that’s saying something!). But through years of determination and a dash of stubbornness, I discovered why I struggled with spelling and how to turn spelling from my worst enemy into my greatest passion.

    Introducing “Spelling Academy” – a way to gift others (and trust me – you’re not alone!) with all that I have learnt to overcome my own spelling difficulties.

    Why People are Loving My Courses!

    Having overcome my own struggles with spelling, combined with over 20 years of experience in literacy education, I know exactly what it takes to help those who find spelling challenging.

    I get it—memorizing the correct spelling of words can feel impossible. For those of us who’ve been there, it’s like hitting a brick wall over and over again. But don’t worry, the Spelling Strategies Course is designed to break down that wall. It’s the perfect starting point for older learners ready to kick off their spelling journey. This course will teach you essential spelling strategies and the most common spelling rules, so you can finally make sense of the English spelling system without relying on rote memorization.

    Learning to spell can feel overwhelming—there are so many words! But trust me, it doesn’t have to take forever. With just an hour or two a week, you can make significant progress.

    And it doesn’t stop there. I bring over two decades of experience working with students, using research-based strategies to ensure that you not only learn but thrive.

    Together, we’ll unravel the quirks of English spelling, so you can say goodbye to guesswork and hello to spelling success!

    Spelling Help For All Ages!

    Testimonials

    Don't take my word for it, here's what other people have to say about my courses, education, and workshop experience.

    I have used the Spelling Strategies Program with huge success with many of my students and recommend it widely, to schools, parents and teachers. I cannot praise and recommend the Spelling Strategies Program highly enough.

    Teacher | Learning matters

    I'm going through the Spelling Rules Program with my boy and it's fantastic. I write for a living and I've even learnt a few things. I guess I've always known the how (to spell words) but now I know the why (words are spelled that way). It's been enlightening!

    This system of teaching spelling rules is visual, tactile, inspiring and effective!

    It offers great strategies for learning spelling, and is excellent for children who don’t want to commit to writing.


    Sandy Russo

    SPELD SA Director

    Very informative program from a great, enthusiastic presenter. I learnt a lot and feel very positive about using the program with the students I tutor. 

    Jenny Freebairn

    Tutor

    I hated writing because spelling just didn't make sense to me. Now I feel so much more confident with writing because I use all the strategies and rules I have learnt to spell. 

    Piper 

    14 year old child 

    The School Start Buddy has made homework a fun activity that has engaged our school-aged daughter, and also her younger sister who has been practicing her “writing.” It neatly packs away after each use which I appreciate, and I know it is ready for immediate use again next time. We have had fun creating new ways to learn words, sounds and sentences.
