Elevate spelling skills with our specialised online spelling program for older children, teenagers and adults who find spelling challenging. The Spelling Strategies Program is designed to empower parents, teachers and anyone looking to provide effective support to children struggling with spelling.
Spelling poses a challenge for a variety of reasons, but a common factor is the lack of understanding about how to use effective spelling strategies. Often, people grappling with spelling difficulties tend to rely solely on writing the sounds they hear (often without possessing strong phonemic awareness skills), restricting their ability to spell a broad range of words.
According to the Australian Curriculum, the systematic teaching of english spelling strategies is recommended until approximately Grade Five. However, a significant number of children are not fully acquiring proficient spelling skills by this stage. Unfortunately, as spelling tends to receive less emphasis in the latter years of schooling, these individuals might miss the opportunity to develop confident spelling abilities.
The Spelling Strategies Program caters for this common learning need by providing targeted spelling training, ensuring mastery of essential spelling strategies and rules. We firmly believe that no child should leave school with poor spelling skills. We also believe that learning to spell should be an achievable process, with noticeable progress that keeps everyone motivated.
Each unit begins with an engaging pre-recorded video lesson that introduces the key spelling strategies for that unit. Learners actively participate by using a whiteboard and marker, with support from an adult when needed. It’s a fun and interactive way for everyone to learn together!
Each video lesson in the program is supported by a printable workbook designed to reinforce learning. You can download and print these from your subscription, or purchase professionally printed copies of the complete set.
Children who struggle with spelling need to master the most commonly used words in the English language to confidently tackle everyday writing tasks. Each workbook includes a list of 10 high-frequency words to focus on, conveniently placed on the back cover.
The online quizzes are a fun and simple way for your child to finish each unit and for you to track their progress. Simply click the link provided in your subscription, and your child can complete the quiz in about 10 minutes!
Each unit includes a short list of words designed to reinforce the spelling strategies covered in the video lesson. If you're working with a child, simply read the words aloud for them to write and then explore the spelling secrets provided with the list! This step is an optional addition for those seeking a thorough approach.
Children who struggle with spelling often have difficulties with writing as well. Dictation is an effective way to improve both skills because the learner can focus on essential writing skills like spelling, handwriting and using punctuation without the added pressure of deciding what to write. In dictation, an adult reads sentences aloud, and the learner uses the spelling skills they've learned to write the sentences.

Take the first step to improving a child's spelling today!
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.
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%
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!
Words never made sense to me because they aren't always spelt the way they sound. Now that I understand rules and how to see meaningful parts of words, spelling makes sense to me.
