Many students with disabilities do not master spelling by practicing and studying in the traditional fashion, e.g., writing the words a certain number of times. They may not be able to do the handwriting or they may have to focus so much on the handwriting task that they are not able to concentrate on learning the spelling. Other students are hard to motivate or are inattentive while completing spelling exercises. Custom lists can be created easily using the editor mode. Once a spelling list is selected the students can work with this list in any of the five activities.
Some students learn better with a private tutor.
Students can select a talking male or female tutor who guides them through lessons and provides personalized feedback. The tutor tells the student if he or she makes an error, provides the correct spelling, and invites the child to spell the word correctly. This approach is terrific for emerging readers and auditory learners. Every subject area requires that students learn new vocabulary. Sometimes this is done formally, i.e., students take vocabulary tests as part of each unit.
