The only prescriptive spelling assessment tool available

SPELL-2 is a set of standardised tests to quantify spelling performance for students in grade 2 to adults. Spelling inventories describe what letter patterns a student can and cannot spell. Only SPELL-2 determines why a student misspells and precisely what type of word study instruction is needed to improve that student’s spelling, reading and writing.

SPELL-2 goes beyond assessment with recommendations for differentiated instruction

With SPELL-2, you can easily and effectively provide differentiated instruction in response to your students’ diverse learning needs. SPELL-2 lets you focus on correcting specific problems with recommendations for word study instruction where it is most needed:

• Phonological awareness
  
• Phonics
  
• Vocabulary
  
• Word parts and related words
  
• Mental images of words

“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, USA

“The SPELL-2 analysis is amazing! It’s a prescriptive tool that goes beyond percentile rank and grade equivalency score. Scoring and analysing 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, USA
