Sequential Spelling uses the Orton-Gillingham approach which was originally developed for dyslexic students, but has been found to benefit all struggling readers and spellers.
"Rather than teaching lists of thematic words, Sequential Spelling teaches spelling word families (e.g. consonant + eg family....Leg, Peg, Beg). This enables the child to learn spelling inductively, the exact same way they learned to speak and to walk. This form of instruction is especially effective for children who struggle with rules, have attention challenges or are dyslexic because the letters are learned in sound context rather than through rote memorization." -Sequential SpellingIt's best to start with Level 1, but if your child already has some spelling experience there is also a free placement test.
