Learning spelling rules is a great spelling strategy that will help your spelling and understanding of why there are certain “strange” letter patterns.

This Spelling Rules Course is for both British and American English users, especially native speakers, who feel embarrassed by their spelling, and haven't really had to use spelling much but now because of emails, social media, writing reports, etc., suddenly need to improve spelling for work, training, and to improve job prospects. 

The course is also great for people who are coming back to studying, who've maybe had a bad experience at school, or maybe need to help children with their spelling. 

This is a clear, friendly, step-by-step course that builds your spelling knowledge and confidence in spelling because it's not about learning obscure spelling rules but useful, very helpful rules.

Spelling Sounds and Patterns: to improve spelling, reading & pronunciation

Learning how speech sounds connect to spelling is one of the foundation blocks of learning to spell. Learning to spell well isn't about using one method. It's a complex subject that needs various methods and approaches to learn it well.

You need to learn how sounds, letter patterns, history, structure of words, and rules are all connected and influence the spelling of words.

This course will help you

  • Relate sounds to spelling.

  • Know how sounds, letter patterns, rules and history are all connected and influence spelling.

  • Understand long and short vowel sounds and how they influence spelling.

  • Identify and spell common letter patterns.

  • Know the relationship between spelling rules, letter patterns and sounds

  • Learn important vowel patterns (-ea-, -au-, -ui- -ie- and -ei-) and their sounds.

  • Improve reading by learning letter patterns, which is a proven way to improve reading.

  • Learn how consonants like the letter c and g can have hard and soft sounds, and the rules and history around these.

How to Punctuate Spelling: to improve spelling & writing to give you even more spelling knowledge and confidence to spell, write and get your meaning across.

This is ideal for both American & British English users who need to understand and "master" the tricky punctuation marks we put in spellings, especially apostrophes (you're, I'm, Joanne's course) and hyphens (good-looking, a 3-year-old, sister-in-law). You'll also learn how to punctuate abbreviations (CD/CDs, Dr./Dr, gym), when to use capital letters (I've, Samsung, Harry Potter), and how to write dates, and time, and much more.

Knowing how to use these in your spellings will help you get your point across, will stop you getting confused and angry with spelling and yourself. Emails, and social media have all made writing important again, and it's a shame if you can't express yourself properly in these, or you spend so long trying to spell or figure out how to use an apostrophe, or not, that you give up. 

Knowing these will help you so much and make your writing look professional and not sloppy, or like you don't care.  

It's a video based course with additional PDF worksheets for revision, and exercises and spelling tests in the Resources too.
