About

Welcome to Spelliosity, where spelling meets curiosity!

Spelliosity isn’t a program – it’s a mindset. We believe that spelling instruction should do more than drill rules and lists. It should spark curiosity, reveal patterns, and help students understand why words are spelled the way they are.

Our flagship product, Spell With Confidence, is rooted in rigorous research and was written by Shari Kudsia, a seasoned educator with 25+ years of experience in elementary education. Shari holds official certification from the Academy of Orton Gillingham Practitioners & Educators (AOGPE) at both the Classroom Educator and Associate levels. She has facilitated Top Ten Tools and the Basics of Decoding and Spelling for the International Dyslexia Association and is a current board member of this incredible charity. Shari co-presented at the Literacy and Language Educator Conference for two consecutive years, sharing her expertise in Structured Literacy. Over the past eight years, she has integrated Structured Literacy methodologies based on the Science of Reading research into her primary classrooms, seeing profound improvements in the learning journeys of all her students, not only those who often tend to struggle.

Spell With Confidence is designed with the diverse needs of students in mind, offering two tailored word lists in each lesson to suit varying levels of spelling proficiency. Perfect for Grades 2 to 4 and adaptable for Grades 1-5, Word List A helps students master simple spelling patterns, while Word List B challenges those ready for more advanced words, including those with suffixing changes. All lessons emphasize orthography, morphology, and etymology.

Empowering students with the tools they need to succeed, Spelliosity is inspired by the Science of Reading and enriched by insights from leading voices in linguistics. We're your partner in making spelling instruction both effective and engaging.
