After students have mastered the first pattern, they continue through the rest of the 8 spelling patterns in a step-by-step sequential order. By the time a student has reached the end of a level, they graduate to the next level for more challenging words. Research on teaching reading and spelling dates back to the early s, first with Samuel Orton and then later with Anna Gillingham.
They developed a teaching approach, the Orton-Gillingham method OG , to help struggling readers and spellers. Their teaching methods include what is currently considered best practices: sequential, phonics-based systems that teach the basics of word formation before whole meanings.
Learning through all three pathways auditory, visual, and tactile-kinesthetic is essential. This multisensory approach has been proven effective for students of all abilities, including those with dyslexia and other learning challenges.
The Scholar Within Spelling Program incorporates these OG principles and strategies along with the latest research on learning. We show students step-by-step with video and audio exactly how letters sound and how we put letters together to make words.
With our audio-video lessons, students hear the correct pronunciation of sounds and words. They hear the sounds of letters and letter combinations and see how they come together visually to make words.
Additionally, students work alongside the video lessons with worksheets and printables. There are puzzles, games, and application lessons, too.
The program uses the best practices for teaching ELL students. Spelling can be challenging for many ELL students. Different students bring different language experiences into the learning environment, whether at home or in school. One of the most important parts of learning spelling is to have an auditory and visual model for the letter sounds and patterns in the English language.
We show students exactly how letters come together to make words in just 8 simple ways with our video lessons. We model the specific sounds of letters and letter combinations and how they come together to make words. Students learn specific spelling patterns and also play with them in a variety of ways through puzzles, games, and activities. Learn more best practices to teach ELL students spelling.

Words that continue to be misspelled should be recycled into the next spelling lesson. Evidence from research shows that the test-study-test technique is the single most effective strategy in spelling instruction. Following each word or at the end of the pretest, the teacher spells each word, emphasizing each letter as the student points to each letter being pronounced. Using a colored pencil, the student puts a dot under the incorrect part of a word and then writes the word correctly off to the side.
The student can then focus on the difficult parts of specific words when studying for the final test Allred, ; Darch et al.
