The Spell Well Club is arranged in spelling groups that correspond to the developmental stages of learning. They start from simple words with short and long vowels and progress to more complex words with blended and doubled consonants, unstressed syllables, uncommon phonetic patterns, and compound prefixes and suffixes. The advantage of having a comprehensive set of spelling lists for the primary school years is that one can customize the curriculum to suit the child’s abilities and interests.
Children vary greatly in their aptitudes and skills in this and other areas. The lists can be used at the child’s comfort level and pace. They can also serve as a valuable learning and testing tool. They can help to identify and fill gaps in knowledge and to expand the child’s vocabulary. All the words in the Spell Well Club have been chosen for their relevance in the English language, which builds a solid foundation in essential vocabulary in the early years.
