Your children get immediate results with Sequential Spelling. Minimize study time and reduce test-taking anxiety! Sequential Spelling teaches students to recognize patterns of spelling based on the rules of the English language, but without all the complicated explanations.

You ask your children to spell a simple root word or suffix, such as -in (from Volume 1), and, to help them understand the meaning, you use the word in a sentence. Once your students have attempted to spell the word and before you give the next word, you give them the correct spelling and let them correct their own work immediately.

Each successive day you ask students to spell more words that contain -in, such as pin, sin, spin, skin, and twin. You add more patterns through a sequence based on research and the structure of English words - from the root word to expanded forms. In Sequential Spelling 1, students begin with -in on the first day and within five days they can spell beginning all on their own.

Notice that you never ask your students to "study" more words, only to spell them. As they recognize more and more patterns and begin to spell words correctly that they've never seen before - all without "studying" - their confidence and spelling skills soar!

If you have never used Sequential Spelling before, you're urged to begin with Volume 1 because, while your students might be "ready" to spell frightened (Volume 4), they really ought to know the patterns associated with spelling presidential (Volume 1). The truth is, the levels have absolutely nothing to do with grade levels per se.

To give you a general idea of where your student should begin take the Assessment Test.
