The Spelling Strategies Course
The Spelling Strategies Course teaches essential spelling strategies in a way that works for older learners aged 10 and above, including adults. It comes in two versions—one designed for parents to use at home, and the other created for teachers and tutors to use in schools or learning settings. Both versions follow the same proven approach, with age-appropriate lessons and resources that build confidence and lasting spelling skills.
What Makes the Spelling Strategies Course Different
-
Help for Parents
The Spelling Strategies Course empowers parents who want to support their children with literacy but aren’t sure where to start. With video lessons, parents and children can learn together, and all the materials are included—so there’s no extra prep work for you. Designed for Older Learners
Older children often feel frustrated when stuck relearning basics meant for younger kids. That’s why this program introduces foundational spelling strategies and skills early on in a clear, accessible way—helping learners catch on quickly without feeling held back.-
Making Spelling Logical
Struggling spellers often think English is confusing and inconsistent. This program proves otherwise, revealing the rules and patterns behind spelling to make it more logical and easier to learn.
Relief for Schools and Teachers
The new Spelling Strategies Course for Schools has been created specifically for school use. It establishes a common spelling language between teachers and students, supports teacher development, and—best of all—requires very little preparation time.
"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."

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.
14 year-old boy (wants to remain anonymous)
"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."

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.
