Information for those involved in Adult Training
Spellzone is an online English spelling course written especially for older students. Although the teaching covers spelling rules from a basic level, it differs greatly from the software aimed at children and is therefore very suitable for adult training purposes. Many large companies now use Spellzone as part of their staff training programs. The course is also used in many Adult Education Centres and public libraries.
The course provides comprehensive teaching in English spelling rules, followed by extensive word lists and practice in the form of interactive tests and games. Previous experience in teaching spelling is not needed; all teaching points are presented clearly, in a logical progression so the course can be supervised by non-specialist tutors.
Spellzone is used successfully with these groups of adult learners:
- Dyslexic people, who may not have had their problems diagnosed and treated earlier
- Those who need help in the Key Skills of Literacy
- Those whose first language is not English; dictionary and translation features are included
As the course is online it can be use in any learning centre or the learner can study independently at home, on computer or on a mobile device. This gives Spellzone a significant advantage over software that is only available in a learning centre. All test results are stored online so tutors can monitor progress at any time if required.
