About us

Welcome to Spelliosity, where spelling meets curiosity!

Our program 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 2-4 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.

Spelliosity is rooted in rigorous research and was created by Shari Kudsia, a seasoned educator with over 20 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. 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.

Our program is not just about teaching spelling—it's about sparking a love for words and empowering students with the tools they need to succeed. Inspired by the Science of Reading and enriched by the insights of leaders in linguistics, Spelliosity is your partner in making spelling instruction effective and engaging.
