Scientific Spelling is a curriculum that teaches students to spell words by using the reliable patterns and rules of the English language. Students learn to analyze words and group them for ease in learning. The ability to analyze and categorize words according to three types - regular, rule, and irregular - facilitates the learning of the words, aids the retention of the words, and reinforces basic spelling information. Students do not learn to spell a given list of words, but rather they learn "how to spell!" The goal of Scientific Spelling is threefold: 1. Students will learn the reliable patterns and rules of the English language. 2. Students will learn and will apply a multisensory strategy, which will lead to permanent memorization of words that do not follow the patterns or rules. 3. Students will learn to analyze words as regular, rule, or irregular. Register NOW! Complete Scientific Spelling with options for on-site classes 1, 2 OR 3 days per week, with assignments given from Course Manual for days working at home.

What about a Praise Choir?
Do you play an instrument?
We would like to add a complete Chamber Orchestra to our productions!
