We do not like putting time frames to the course as it creates unwelcome pressure to complete it quickly. We want students to take their time, to enjoy the course, and gain the maximum benefit from it. However, to give you an idea, most students take around sixty hours to complete the twenty-three lessons to a level of competence. Yet, we have had some students who are really keen to extract all benefit from it, and follow every suggestion, such as in the Extra Mastery lessons and the Basic Grammar. As with everything, the more you put into Easy Spelling, the more you will get from it.

Definitely. If your English reading is not good, then your English spelling is also likely to be poor. We suggest before you start the course that you ask a friend (who is a good reader) to help you. That person can explain what you don't understand. It is likely that you will not have to use much of your friend’s time, as you will learn quickly.

Yes. At this stage we do not put time or date limitations to complete the course. However, we may in the future.

Most students do the course on their own. However, some students who have limited reading skill prefer to have a tutor help them. We have the Easy Spelling Text reader. So Easy Spelling is a course that can read itself, all you have to do is listen.

Good question. Jenny Lamond certainly tried to make spelling interesting. Students tell us that the way she developed the ‘detective steps’ and using multi-sensory methods (seeing, hearing and feeling), and the way she filled it with her lovely and clever humour, they have liked it. We also have developed our Spelly avatar who is present for the spelling games.

It will, and it should give you a break from teaching them, with only your occasional support. And, the Extra Mastery and Basic Grammar pages will also help them. You will find that our reading app will help their reading skill.

We have students from as young as eight, and one who is in his seventies. But we feel that nine is about the youngest age, but with a parent or tutor supervision/guidance. A child of twelve is likely to be able to do most of the course but with occasional guidance.
