Here's what parents are saying about this class: "This is a wonderful class that is really helping my 7 year old twins build a strong foundation in spelling. And best of all, they love it! They look forward to each class, and they enjoy their weekly assignments as well. I highly recommend both this class and this teacher!" "My son was not familiar with spelling words before the lessons, but I noticed big progress after attending a few lessons. The teacher is patient, fun and encouraging!" 🌟 Instruction follows the Phono-Graphix method for teaching reading and spelling which was developed with students with Dyslexia in mind. The Phono-Graphix method is very similar to Orton-Gillingham and is based on the Science of Reading. 🚀 This class is appropriate for CEFR levels A1-A2. 🤓 Research shows that repetitive practice with new skills helps us learn information faster and retain it longer. Practice sessions should be spread out over a week or more to be most effective. 🌟 This class only meets once a week but we supply worksheets, digital games, supplemental videos for extended instruction, and a pre-recorded spelling test. 📝 Students will be assigned a weekly spelling list of 10 words at the beginning of each week. During the live class, we will discuss patterns in the words and spelling rules as they apply. A list of 10 words will be provided, as well as 2 bonus words to meet the needs of a wide range of skill levels. 📝 Students will be expected to participate by writing the spelling words as modeled and trying different ways to study the words using colors and shapes. We will also discuss proper usage and share creative work. 🚧 Keep in mind that the spelling rules only apply to about 70% of English words. We will discuss the spelling rules as they apply but focus heavily on spelling patterns, the sounds in the words, and study skills to master the words' spelling. 📝 One of the weekly assignments is to use the spelling words in sentences. Students may share their creative sentences on the classroom page or in a message to the teacher for feedback. 📝 Homework assignments will be given. A worksheet packet is provided after the class meeting. The weekly spelling list will be sent out on the morning of the live meeting at 6 am Central time. 📝 Students may take a low-pressure spelling test with a pre-recorded video to assess their progress. 👀 Learners will need to know most of the sounds of the letters. There are 24 different lists in the program. Each week focuses on a different spelling pattern or sound. Our organization offers more spelling classes in this format for grades 1-middle school.

I am a state-certified Elementary Teacher who has become aware of the absence of structured spelling instruction in the schools today. In my private reading tutoring practice, I have watched my students become strong and independent spellers by using my approach. I have taught over three thousand spelling students on Outschool since March 2020 in second through middle school grade levels.
