Frequently Asked Questions about Spelling Power
I have four children, can I teach Spelling Power to all of them at the same time?
Yes and No. You only need one manual for your entire family and it may be possible to conduct the placement tests with your children as a group. Many discovery activities are designed as family activities. But each child’s list will soon become unique since each child only studies words he doesn’t know.
How will I know if my student is ready for the Spelling Power program?
If your student shows the following skills and traits, he should be able to be placed on one of the 11 levels of Flow-Word Lists and succeed using the approach described in the Spelling Power Quick Start Steps.
- At least 8 years old -- developmentally and academically;
- Able to write each separate letter of the alphabet from dictation and can write some words without having to copy them;
- Speaks and is able to read on at least a second grade level;
- Can speak clearly and accurately pronounce most words;
- Has an understanding of basic phonetic principles -- knows the consonants;
- Is able to stay on-task for approximately five minutes; and
- Asks about words and how they are spelled.
My child always gets 100% on his weekly spelling test, but then misspells the same
words in his daily work. Will Spelling Power help him?
Yes, a child studies a word until it is mastered and a series of delayed recall tests review the words. Additionally, words misspelled in daily papers are added to daily tests until learned. Every word your child misspells is studied until mastered.
Where can I find some sample pages?
Since the Spelling Power program is an individualized program and each student moves at his own pace, there are no sample pages as such. You can get a good idea of just how the program works by going to the Spelling Power Lesson Plan page.
