The Word Spelling Frame from Readstart

Learning to talk is like learning to walk – it’s an instinctive stage of development from infant to child to adult. But learning to read is like learning to ride a bike. It is an acquired skill which is so much part of our culture that we take it for granted. The word speller helps learners of any age make the jump from the natural world of speech to the flatland of language and communication on the surface of a page or a screen. It helps them across the gap between talking or listening and reading or writing.
