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 teachers, parents, 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, individuals 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. Moreover, we are committed to extending this opportunity to learners of all ages, recognising the importance of acquiring these fundamental spelling skills.
Comprising a total of 15 units, each segment within our program follows a consistent six-step structure, ensuring a seamless teaching and learning experience. The sequential steps for each unit are detailed below:
Start each unit with an engaging pre-recorded video lesson where the focus spelling strategies for that unit are taught.
Each video lesson in the program is supported and strengthened with a printable workbook for learners to complete.
Children who are poor spellers must learn how to spell the most commonly used words in our English language so that they can confidently complete daily writing tasks.
Each unit includes a short list of words that reinforce the spelling strategies covered in the video lesson. If you're working with a child, simply read the words for them to write, then explore the spelling secrets behind each one, provided with the list!
The online quizzes are a fun and effective way to finish each unit and a great way to monitor progress.
Children who struggle with spelling often have difficulties with writing as well. Dictation is an effective way to improve both skills. In dictation, the adult reads sentences aloud, and the learner uses the spelling skills they've learned to write the sentences.

"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.
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.
