  • 1. Students will learn the proper spellings of second-grade-level words and their usage in the English language. 2. Special focus on phonemic awareness, homophones, and words that just don't fit the "rules". 3. Students will gain confidence in their spelling, reading, and writing skills.
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.
