PARENTS: because of the private nature of this class, please send requests for a time slot and let me know what times best work for you and I will work you in. I am listing a handful of sections but am very flexible. I will meet with each child 1 time. During that time they will take up to 2 assessments based on ability level. I will read a series of words and students will spell them in the chat box. Based on their performance on the first test, I will decide wether a different level of assessment is needed. This assessment will rarely take the full 25 minutes allotted. Part of that time is devoted to completing the informational reports that will be shared with parent and the child if age appropriate at the end of the class. These results will provide a plan of progression that covers multiple years of learning. This is perfect for students who need spelling tutoring or want to determine the best spelling classes to take. These assessments can be repeated multiple times a year to track growth though I recommend not more than 4 times a year at most.
Learning Goals
Students will determine what their spelling strengths and weaknesses are. These assessments determine which vowel patterns, blends, digraphs and word types (ie homophones, compound words, inflected endings) that the student should focus on and which are already mastered. Each child will receive a detailed report with suggested plan for improvement.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I have been formally trained in using this method of spelling instruction, have provided professional development to other teachers in this content and have implemented it for grades K-12 with a focus on students who need spelling remediation. I love this method of assessment teaching spelling others because it helps the student and parents easily understand where their strengths and weaknesses lie in an easy to read results report and suggested learning plan.
