Instruction will be based on parent input, teacher recommendations if available, and spelling evaluations that I give to your child. Each session will be tailored to your child's strengths and areas of difficulty. 
I will take notes on your student's progress during each session and will use that to plan future instruction. I will assess your child's spelling knowledge and specific skills on a regular basis to guide instruction.
We will begin in the All About Spelling level recommended by the results of your child's spelling evaluation. We will progress through the lessons and levels at your child's pace.
Here are a few of the topics your child will learn in each level:
