What is the Spelling Strategies Program?
The Spelling Strategies Program is an online subscription course that teaches essential spelling strategies typically covered in primary school. It’s specifically designed for older learners (10 years and above) who want a more mature approach—without the frustration of programs that feel too young or childish. While the program is primarily intended for parents to use at home with their children, teachers and tutors are also finding it highly user-friendly and effective for helping older students who struggle with spelling.
What Makes the Spelling Strategies Program Different?
The Spelling Strategies Program stands out for three important reasons:
1. Help for parents
This program empowers parents who want to support their children with literacy but aren’t sure how to start. Video lessons allow parents and children to learn together, and all the materials are provided, so there’s no extra work for you.
2. Designed for older learners
Older children often don’t want to spend too much time going over the basics, as it can feel like they're stuck relearning content meant for younger children. That’s why the program introduces foundational spelling strategies and skills in the early units in a clear, accessible way that helps children catch on quickly.
3. Making spelling logical
Many people who struggle with spelling think English is confusing and frustrating. This program shows that spelling does follow rules and patterns, making it easier to understand and learn.

"I have used this program for a term, with my 14 year old son. He’s always struggled with spelling & no matter how many times we reviewed things, it failed to stick. We are half way through this program and I am thrilled with it so far. The lessons are well thought out & easy to manage. The way it’s taught, is different to any other programs we’ve tried. Helping us both understand how the English language is put together, rather than trying to memorise how to spell words. It’s giving him tools & strategies to work out the structure of the words, which enables him to spell them correctly. He was also relieved that we didn’t waste time starting from scratch again, which most programs encourage. He was able to move through the basics very quickly, boosting his interest & confidence. Really looking forward to finishing this program with him, as I think it’s what we’ve been needing all along."

TESTIMONIALS
Hear what other people have to say.
I hated writing because spelling just didn't make sense to me. Now I feel so much more confident with writing because I now use strategies and rules to help me.
Piper - 14 year-old child
I did a spelling test at the start of term and got 41%. I completed The Spelling Strategies Program in one term and I've just done the same test again (at the end of the term) and got 71%
Theo - 12 year-old child
I'm going through the Spelling Strategies 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!
Collete - parent of 12 year-old boy
I started using this program last term and have really enjoyed it so far. The lessons are fast, easy, you learn lots and the set up is great. Another bonus is the website is easy to use and access everything.
