Introducing Systematic Spelling

Like all good inventions, Systematic Spelling was born from necessity. The author earned her Master's in Literacy Intervention from a prestigious Liberal Art's College and has worked closely with dyslexic students and their families ever since. Although successfully remediating over a hundred students, the author never found the "just right" curriculum that was able to effectively remediate BOTH the reading and spelling difficulties experienced by her dyslexic students. So, as is her style, she decided to do it herself and created Systematic Spelling. 

Currently, our team is a one-(wo)man band!

 Alison Santa Maria, M.A.T., CALT is a highly-trained and experienced private educator who specializes in the identification and remediation of children with dyslexia. After over a decade of dedicating her life to this work, she wrote Systematic Spelling in order to better serve her students. 

• Deeply rooted in the body of research known as the "Science of Reading" (SOR) 
• Addresses all five pillars of literacy: phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension
• Instruction is explicit, systematic, cumulative, diagnostic, and multisensory 
• Built for dyslexic students, but works for anyone struggling with literacy acquisition
• Writing Conventions (grammar, semantics, syntax, sentence structure, essay structure, etc.) interwoven in every instructional lesson
