Spelling is an instructional program that enhances reading achievement and keyboard skills.
The program uses a phonetic approach to reading, with the microcomputer being an essential component of the instructional process. The computer does not replace the teacher in instructing, but rather provides opportunities for students to master skills through reinforced practice. It can be networked. The program works whether one or more computers are available to a class or whether there is a computer lab in the school. Although the teacher teaches some skills, students are independent as they work at the computer.
