Class Experience

US Grade 3 - 5
Beginner - Intermediate Level
🌟Enrolling for Fall 2025🌟
Does your learner struggle to spell longer, multi-syllable words?

By mastering spelling rules and patterns, students can expect to see:
✨ Improved Reading Comprehension
✨ Confident Writing Skills
✨ Expanded Vocabulary

With consistent repetition and practice, this class ensures that spelling becomes second nature, leading to impressive leaps in reading levels over time—some students have jumped 2-3 levels in just one year!

Every week, we will:
✨ learn 10 new words centered around special sound/spelling rules
✨ practice dividing the words into syllables for easier learning
✨ define words and talk about their respective parts of speech
✨ play interactive learning games to reinforce the learning

As a bonus, I provide weekly lists, definitions, and (optional) activities for extra practice at home, ensuring continuous improvement and mastery.

New students can join any week and long attending students get to know one another and have fun playing the different games every week. Repetition and practice over time makes the rules "stick".
