Spelling Mastery: Teaching Spelling to Students with Learning Disabilities.

Spelling Mastery is a program designed to target spelling skills for students at all academic levels, including those with learning disabilities. The program consists of six levels, each with 60 to 120 lessons, and is delivered in daily 15-20 minute sessions. Teachers present exercises, listen to student responses, and provide immediate feedback, using three strategies: phonemic, morphemic, and whole-word. The phonemic strategy instructs beginning spellers on sound-symbol relationships, the morphemic strategy teaches older students to spell and blend bases and affixes, and the whole-word strategy teaches common, irregularly spelled words using memorization procedures and drills. The program includes a teacher presentation book, teacher/series guide, student workbook, and software.
