The scientific research on how we learn says the best way to retain information is through Spaced Repetition - practising the same word over and over, with larger and larger gaps between repetitions.
However this is not practical in a classroom situation, and even 1:1 it is very hard to work out which word should be practised each day. That is why we created Spelling Tutor.
Spelling Tutor creates a personalised learning program for each pupil. Words a pupil struggle with are repeated again and again, with larger and larger gaps between tests, until the spelling has been transferred from short term to long term memory. Words they do know how to spell are only tested once.
Our Objective
To teach children to spell correctly and consistently:
-
✔The most used 1000 words (high frequency)
-
✔The National Curriculum (2014) words for each year group
-
✔The National Curriculum (2014) spelling patterns for each year group
How to use Spelling Tutor
Spelling Tutor is designed to be used with target groups of children who are under achieving in spelling.
Children use the computer program for 10 minutes daily (they also need a mini whiteboard/ scrap paper to write on).
Spelling Tutor can be used on iPads or PCs.
