Meet the Mind Behind Spelling Academy
Sharona Edwards
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!
"Unlock the secrets of English spelling—because life’s too short to let words baffle you!"
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!

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.

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.

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.
