This course is to be purchased by adults. Adults are expected to supervise their children's use of the content in this class.

Students will be assigned a weekly spelling list. Video instruction will contain a discussion of the patterns in the words and spelling rules as they apply. A list of 15 words will be provided. Five bonus words will be included to accommodate a differentiated learning experience. Instructional videos will include proper usage of the spelling words, as well as age-appropriate definitions. Three instructional videos will be posted each week. Videos are intended to be watched on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and follow-up assignments should be done in between.

Monday instructional video: Introduction of the word list. I will model how students should sort their lists to best learn the spellings. Word usage and age-appropriate definitions will be discussed.

Wednesday instructional video: "Spelling for the Visual Learner." In this video, I will model how to add color and shapes to the spelling words in order to identify where all the sounds are in the words and how each sound is spelled. (Colored pencils or fine-tipped markers are highly recommended when following this lesson!). This video session also addresses study skills so that students learn how to study effectively for their spelling tests. Many of these skills carry over to many academic classes as well.

Friday instructional video: I will briefly provide instruction on words that students frequently struggle with so they remember those spellings on the test and beyond. After a refresher on those frequently misspelled words from the list, a spelling test is given. Students are expected to follow the video to write the spelling words as they are called. I use the spelling words in sentences in order to clarify ambiguity concerning homophones. Students will write the spelling words and follow along with me to check their work for accuracy. Students are encouraged to post their tests in either a private message to me or to the classroom.

Daily, (Monday through Friday) students are encouraged to share their creative work following the model in published videos. Teacher-created worksheets will be available for additional weekly practice. A minimum of two homework submissions per week is recommended. A video prompted spelling test will be posted each Friday so that students can measure their level of success. Each week a new list will be assigned.

At the end of the 3- week session, students may re-enroll and continue with new lists. A total of 22 weeks of different lists are available. Please contact me before re-enrolling so your student can be placed in a section with new lists.

Instruction follows the Phono-Graphix method for teaching reading and spelling. This method was developed with the dyslexic learner in mind.
