This class is specially designed for the older student who reads adequately but still struggles with proper spelling. We will learn the tools that will enable the student to logically understand why words are spelled the way they are. This will happen through: discussion, keeping a spelling journal, and dictation. Students will learn advanced phonics, syllabication, and the application of spelling rules. The goal of this class is to create a successful learning environment which respectfully engages the student.
