Spelling
Tutor
is a personalised, structured program which teaches around 90% of the
words we use every day - the first 1,000 high frequency words, and all
the words in the 2014 Spelling Curriculum.

The program is designed to be used on any mac, computer, iPad or tablet
by children for 10 minutes daily (they also need a mini whiteboard/
scrap paper to write on).
Spelling Tutor is the only intervention
to use
spaced repetition to commit the word to long term memory and recognises
the importance of linking spelling to handwriting.
It places words in sentences to aid vocabulary understanding and
reinforces spelling rules and patterns, explaining them to the pupil.
The program is flexible, allowing the teacher to add words if required.
"I have been
using Spelling Tutor
for a term with seven year 5 children, who had very poor spelling. They
program takes 10 minutes a day, and the spellings were personalised for
each pupil. After playing Spelling Tutor every
school day for a
term the average spelling age increase was 16 months! But also their
confidence in their daily written work grew, which was lovely to see."
- Tanya Costa, Y5 teacher, Whitehall Junior School
How it works:
- A personal list of words
is created from the pupil's mistakes.
- These
words are tested again and again, with larger and larger gaps between
each test, which transfers the spelling from short term to long term
memory
- This
innovative program asks pupils to write sentences and words from
dictation, because writing is the best way to learn spelling.
- The
pupil then marks their own work, which further reinforces the correct
spelling and encourages them to take ownership for their own learning.
Research shows spaced repetition works because children more easily
remember things when they are studied a few times spaced over a long
time span rather than repeatedly studied in a short space of time. This
is why learning words for an end of week spelling test often doesn't
improve spelling. The words are soon forgotten. Whereas with spaced
repetition the words are transferred from short term to long term
memory.
Spelling Tutor is different because you
only
practise the words you get wrong. The more you get them wrong, the more
often they are shown to you. With Spelling Tutor
you never need
to tell the program you have finished learning these words and want the
next list. It uses the spaced repetition algorithm to determine when to
test a word. Then every day it adds a few new words to the list you are
learning.
The pricing differs
depending on how many pupils you want to cater to:
