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
