Improve reading, writing, and academic success through word study.

Precisely identify and effectively target the language defi cits that are interfering with a student’s ability to read, write, and spell. Unlike most assessments, which focus on measuring how well a student is performing, SPELL-2 tells you why a student is struggling, creates an individualized instruction plan for the student, and links the assessment data to specifi c lessons and activities in the SPELL-Links to Reading & Writing word study curriculum.

Count on this research-based, proven effective word study program to help you plan and deliver differentiated instruction that improves your students’ spelling, reading, writing, and vocabulary skills. Use with Tiers 2 & 3, Special Ed, Speech-Language Impaired, ESL, Title I, Dyslexia.

SPELL-Links to Reading & Writing

SPELL-2Spelling Performance Evaluation for Language and Literacy



Language is the Key to SuccessProficiency with language unlocks the door to literacy and academic success. From beginning consonants to Greek and Latin roots, SPELL/SPELL-Links helps you deliver word study instruction that enables students to make sense of the structure of the English language, systematically teaches them how to integrate sounds, letter patterns, and meanings to read and spell words, and explicitly shows them how to transfer this language knowledge to everyday reading and writing.

Meet diverse student needs with one word study programUse SPELL-2’s prescriptive assessment to identify a student’s word study deficits and design individualized word study instruction for that student. Deliver differentiated instruction one-on-one or use SPELL-2g to automatically group students who need the same instruction. Use the SPELL-Links progress monitoring tools to document response to intervention and support the decision-making process.

Meet Common Core StandardsSPELL-Links to Reading & Writing aligns your instruction with common core standards for reading, writing, speaking, and listening. The explicit instruction and meta-linguistic strategies you provide with SPELL-Links ensures that your students have the core skills, linguistic understandings, and strategies needed for literacy and academic success. SPELL-2 helps you to pinpoint specific deficits so that you can devote instructional time only where needed, enabling you to take the time needed to teach core skills, concepts, and processes well—and to give students the opportunity to master them.

SPELL/SPELL-Links meets all of the criteria set forth by the Center on Instruction for a thorough and effective word study program.

(Download checklist on our website.)

Link Assessment to Intervention – How it Works with SPELL/SPELL-LinksSPELL-2 uses spelling error analysis to achieve a deep and highly-sensitive measure of a student’s knowledge of the sounds, letters, and meanings of words. Testing, scoring, interpretation of results, report writing, and instructional planning are done automatically for you.

For each instructional goal identified, the SPELL-2 Recommendations report lists the corresponding lesson number and activity in the SPELL-Links to Reading & Writing curriculum.

Promote Success with Home–School Connections With the SPELL-Links curriculum you own an extensive collection of home-link word study activities that enhance parental involvement, strengthen the home and school partnership, and make learning at home practical and fun. Each activity in the SPELL-Links to Reading & Writing word study curriculum has a corresponding Home Link activity that can be sent home with a student, emailed directly to parents, or posted on your school or class website.

Use SPELL-2 with general eligibility assessments to support findings and guide instructionSPELL-2’s diagnostic and prescriptive assessment complements standardized assessments including the TWS, CTOPP, WRMT, GORT, and KTEA. Once the deficient underlying language processes are identified by SPELL-2, use SPELL-Links to develop phonological awareness, orthographic knowledge, vocabulary, morphological knowledge, and mental orthographic images and to empower students with meta-linguistic strategies that enable them to successfully transfer word study knowledge to reading and writing across the curriculum.
