Spelling instruction is critical for student development. The research is clear, and increasingly convincing, that students who learn to spell well are more successful in writing, reading, and (not surprisingly!) spelling.

Every spelling and phonics system still requires customization

Regardless of the spelling system you choose, you still need to customize the worksheets to your needs.

Classrooms will require multiple groups. Groups of students will be more advanced than others. Specific students may require intervention for specific spelling rules.

Finding words that fit the specific lesson is frustrating

Every K-5, ELA, and special education teacher has had the experience of searching for words that fit the specific lesson and grade level.

This frequently requires you to search through Teachers Pay Teachers, Google, or your specific spelling system's texts. Often at night or on the weekend, when you have limited time.
