SPELL 2 is the important first step toward achieving spelling and word study success for all of your
students. This assessment software program collects and analyzes a student’s misspellings to identify the precise
deficits underlying spelling and reading
problems, and gives you a clear roadmap for providing differentiated instruction that quickly improves a student's
spelling, reading, and writing.
The only prescriptive spelling assessment tool available!
Standardized tests tell you if a student is spelling at, above, or below grade level. Spelling inventories describe what letter patterns a student can and cannot spell.
Only SPELL 2 determines why a student is having trouble spelling and reading and precisely what type of word study instruction is needed to improve that
student's spelling, reading and writing.
"The recommendations for remediation are most valuable! I see SPELL 2 being widely
used at all grade levels at my school." |
| Terry Hrycyna, SLP, Lake Bluff School, WI |

| "The SPELL 2 analysis is amazing! It's a
prescriptive tool that goes beyond percentile rank and
grade equivalency score. Scoring and analyzing spelling
performance is so incredibly time consuming and often
incomplete and too subjective. SPELL 2 takes the guess
work out of where to begin." |
| Sherry Grobe, Reading Consultant, IL |
