More About Clever Speller

Breathe life into spelling with Clever Speller, a unique story based approach that makes learning to spell easy and fun. Ten beautifully illustrated phonics picture books are full of words that highlight the many different ways a focus sound can be spelled, making the journey from hearing sounds in words, to knowing all the ways to spell them, clear and easy to understand.

Clever Speller is different. No other spelling resource features full length picture books with all the ways to spell a focus sound in the same story. Whole language and phonics work together, with the magic of technology, to present a perfect mix of old and new that will gain, and keep, student’s attention. 

For many students spelling is confusing and boring. Despite the best of intentions and concentrated efforts, too many students are at risk of becoming disengaged with spelling. Yes, English is a crazy language to learn to spell, but it’s not rocket science and it doesn’t have to be boring. There is a better way to learn to spell than with endless lists and dry, boring worksheets.

Clever Speller cleverly uses the rigor of phonics, in the context of whole language, to make sense of crazy English spelling and bring it to life. Traditional picture book style stories showing all the ways to spell a focus sound enable a seamless progression from phonemic awareness to phonics knowledge. Colourful characters and interesting adventures engage and enthrall students so that learning to spell, and read, is an enjoyable experience for all.
