Why is Spelling Important?
“Spelling knowledge is the engine that drives efficient reading as well as efficient writing.”
– Shane Templeton and Darrell Morris
Why Spell to Excel is great for parents
Individualized instruction:
No more struggling each night to help your student learn a list of words that is too difficult, only to have your student fail on the test. No more bored students during spelling practice. Spell to Excel’s pre-test generates an individualized spelling list that is achievable yet challenging for each student. Even better, lists are built around the curriculum taught at school.
Self-directed learning for children:
Sitting down with Spell to Excel is like sitting down with a personal tutor. Your student will be able to navigate through much of their work by themselves.
Accountability for performance:
Reports allow parents to monitor student progress from home. Most frequently used words for each grade level are tracked allowing students to proofread for these words often. Mastery of these 850 words accounts for 80% of the words students use in their writing.
Coordination with curriculums:
Spelling pre-tests and lists are organized into concepts that coordinate with established curriculum. Also, parents can easily enter their own list into the program. Spell to Excel is more than just a practice program. Spell to Excel is a full management system helping students, teachers, and parents build a foundation of learning that will have benefits throughout students’ lives. See how the program works!
Homework/Center Work Packages available on line:
These packages (based on grade level) allow your student to practice their individual word lists or review previously studied words using fun games and activities. Word Sorting activities provide students with fun ways to think about word patterns. Writing activities allow students to write and then easily proofread. As students proofread they connect directly to their “Words I Know” (their list of most frequently spelled words for each grade level). Students submit their work directly to their teacher from the site.
Why Spell to Excel is great for students
Every student is successful. Every student is challenged.
Each student studies a list that is both challenging and achievable. When more time is needed for practice, teachers can reset tests as needed. With the help of Spell to Excel, every student has a successful experience. As students have a sense of accomplishment, they are encouraged and motivated.
Focused Learning:
Spell to Excel is purposefully designed to have a clean, easy-to-use interface. During study portions of the program, there are no distracting characters or cartoons. Students move efficiently and effectively through their work.
A little time pays off:
Student’s time and attention are precious. Students are only asked for a reasonable but consistent time commitment.
Immediate feedback:
Throughout the program, students are immediately informed when they have misspelled a word. They are prompted to compare their spelling to the correct spelling. Concepts being studied for the week are highlighted to draw students’ attention to critical examination of word parts.
Study on their own time:
Because there is no software to download, students can access Spell to Excel from any computer at any time. This allows for flexibility in the time and the place they practice spelling - home, school, even daycare.
Fun Review Games and Activities:
Spell to Excel includes fun review games and writing opportunities that allow students to practice using words and concepts they have previously studied.
