What are Spellamentals?
Spellamentals are the fundamentals behind Spell With Confidence, designed to help students build a solid foundation for spelling success. While Spell With Confidence begins at a level where students can confidently control simple phoneme-grapheme correspondences (such as simple consonant digraphs like <th>, <sh>, and <ch> for Word List A) and apply suffixing changes (replace <e>, change <y> to <i>, and doubling) in Word List B, we recognized the need for lessons/activities that come before this stage.
This video explains the key skills students should build before beginning Spell With Confidence lessons. This is your starting point to ensure all learners are set up for success.
