All About Spelling is very effective for struggling learners. Most students start in Level 1 since this is a mastery-based program, not a grade-level program. The program will help fill in the missing gaps and build a strong foundation.

Contact us if you would like additional help with placement. As a general rule, we recommend spending 20 minutes per day on spelling. You do not need to complete an entire Step in one day—some Steps may even take a week or more to cover. The All About Spelling program is completely flexible and customizable, allowing you to breeze through sections that are easy for your child and spend more time on difficult concepts.

Each spelling lesson presents a single new rule or concept. Instead of jumping from one concept to another, children learn spelling in a sequential, orderly way, with words of similar attributes always being taught together. Continual individualized review is a major component of the All About Spelling program.

One of the first things you'll do before beginning to teach is set up the Spelling Review Box. AAS uses several different methods to review concepts and spelling words, including flashcards , word analysis, sentence dictation , and writing activities. Take a look at a sample lesson to see how review is handled.

Spelling rules are taught in several ways in our program. Then the rule is reviewed as many times as necessary until your child masters the concept. It is a fun spelling game that is played with a partner to help reinforce spelling words. Pair students together and give each student a sheet of paper. Have students draw a grid with letters on the top and numbers on the side.

Then have students write about five of their spelling words in boxes on the grid they made. Students take turns calling out boxes. The goal of the game is to find the spelling words. The first one to find all of the words wins. Divide students into teams of two. Each team gets a pile of their spelling words, along with a tic tac toe board. The first player draws a card from the deck and reads the word to their partner. The partner then spells the word. If they get it wrong then they cannot place anything on the board.

Then the next player goes, and so on. This continues until someone gets tic tac toe. Spelling Boom is a fun hands-on spelling game to reinforce spelling words. Form as many words as you can with the letters you're given! A though-provoking cross between a word search and scramble.

Fun aside, our collection of spelling games are also great at training your brain and staying sharp as each requires you to create a strategy and spell out words from a random set of letters. Our collection free spelling games are some of the most popular games on the web! In particular, the Outspell spelling game has been a fan favorite for years.

Similar to an online Scrabble game, Outspell requires the player to spell words using specific tiles that have one letter each. In addition to Outspell, Arkadium is home to many more classic spelling word games, including the ever popular Word Wipe! This free online spelling game tasks players to form words out of randomly generated letter towers—the longer the word, the more points you will receive.

Pair your little learners for this fun and teachable spelling activity. Give each group a pair of dice and a list of the spelling words. To play, each child rolls the dice and counts the dots. The teacher decides how many words to copy per toss, according to the time limit on this activity. Play continues in this manner until one student has written all the spelling words on the list—this child is declared the winner.

Do you remember the TV game show Concentration? Have you ever played the concentration game with playing cards? Well, this game, which needs to be made in advance, is an educational spin-off that can help your students get familiar with the spelling of certain words.

Divide a sheet of paper into 20 squares. Each spelling word should be written on two separate squares, then cut them into playing pieces. Mix up the squares and place them face down on the table. Pair up your students and have them take turns turning over two squares.

If the squares match, the child keeps the pieces and takes another turn. If they don't match, the second player gets a turn.
