Foundation Level

As they are so specific, these lessons are not intended for whole-class use. Ideally, they will work with small groups who are not yet proficient with a particular rule or pattern.

When used correctly and informed by data, the downloadable lessons on this site should help you tailor a spelling program that is differentiated and relevant to the needs of a wide range of learners.
