"It was useful to learn the rules and history about words and how they are spelled and then watch a practical session on how to teach the concepts. There were many useful and practical tips that I can use in my lessons with students."

"The way that Spelling for Life explains the English language makes teaching and learning easy to understand and provides examples of ways to teach to students that is engaging and simple. The schwa and doubling consonants have always been difficult to explain to students, but Lyn makes it so easy. Thank you so much for making spelling easy."

"Amazing. So much common sense. The background knowledge this course provides will enable teachers to effectively teach spelling in their classrooms. This should be a course requirement in university teacher education courses!!"
