All About Spelling: This spelling program is designed for the beginning or struggling learner and brings together the three modalities of learning – auditory (hearing), visual (seeing), and kinesthetic (touching).  If your student is a good reader but poor speller, an all-around “horrible speller,” has “hit the wall” when it comes to spelling, learns one day and forgets the next, or just learns differently, this may be the program you need. This is a building-block program, so most students should start with Level 1. Grades 1-8.

Explode the Code: Explode The Code books 1–8 provide comprehensive phonics skills needed for reading success: phonological awareness, decoding, vocabulary, comprehension, fluency, and spelling.  Explode The Code “Half” books help teachers differentiate instruction for students who need additional reinforcement. Additional practice is provided for every skill taught in books 1– 6. Grades K-4.
