Marvellous Spelling DVD

overview

Marvellous Spelling is a visual spelling strategy. It teaches people how to store a picture of a word in their visual memory and how to retrieve that picture whenever they need it. Using this technique, adults and children who struggle with spelling, or have little confidence in their spelling ability, can quickly and easily learn how to spell new words in just a few minutes. The Marvellous Spelling DVD has video footage of the technique in action and contains clear instructions on how to deliver it in the classroom. It is easy to follow and can be applied successfully at any level of education with any group of students.

Following the technique is very simple; students learn how to store new words in their visual memory so that this soon becomes a habit with every new word they see - just like people who can spell easily. Schools, colleges or other learning organisations can learn how to use Marvellous Spelling to benefit the students who most need help. With the one to one email mentoring service that is also offered, there is always a consultant on hand if needed.

I found the resource straightforward, simple to access, and useful in different situations. The results seem to be very good and children who previously found spelling hard were able to see that it works. It was versatile enough to be used by classes of children, small special needs groups and as a staff training resource. Nothing else is needed, as it can be used with any lists of words. As such, it represents a very useful tool that could supplement spelling work in a range of different schools and settings.
