You may be a teacher, a tutor, a mentor, a family member or a friend. You're working with a student, or students, to help them with their spelling.
How do you start? What do you focus on?

SpellingWorks is designed as a self-study book; learners can work through it fairly independently – but of course it really helps to have support, and this is something you can provide.

Before you continue, though, you may want to check out the FAQs about SpellingWorks, to find out about the SpellingWorks philosophy and the kinds of learners it's designed for.

The Chapter by chapter section gives you suggestions for supporting and extending the skills and strategies in each chapter. The Worksheets give you a sample worksheet for each chapter – use them as they are, or as a model for developing your own worksheets.
