Silver Moon Spelling
Silver Moon Spelling is a no-fuss, systematic and explicit spelling curriculum based on Orton-Gillingham methods. This program has three (non-grade-specific) levels and teaches all the major spelling rules.
Silver Moon Spelling may be a great fit if:
You want a straight-forward, open-and-go program.
You prefer no-fuss, simple visuals in your instructor guides.
You have a logical child who likes clear rules.
You have a child that benefits from visual images and stories to aid memory and skill learning.
Your child struggled with a different program.
You have an older student who struggles with spelling.
You are an international homeschooler looking for a digital product (they offer paperback and digital).
Silver Moon Spelling may not be the right choice if:
You want a budget-friendly program. This program is currently about $135/level.
Your child is just beginning reading instruction.
Your child does not know the consonant and short vowel sounds.

I also have a Spelling Instruction Guide. It is a 20-page guide for selecting, implementing, and making the most of a spelling program.
While some excellent, evidence-based spelling programs are available, many children need more than what is outlined in a single program.
This guide walks you through spelling curriculum options, pacing, and instructional activities and addresses the questions I hear most from clients about spelling. It also includes a weekly spelling checklist to use during your planning.
