For spellers and their families
Meaningful academics for students who spell to communicate.
Not sure what spelling—or a speller—is? Great question! Spelling to Communicate is a communication method used by individuals with autism, apraxia, and other conditions that can affect reliable speech. By using a letterboard or keyboard, students can communicate meaningful thoughts, answer questions, and participate more fully in academic learning.
Every unit study is created with spellers in mind from the very beginning. The academic content, weekly lesson map, activities, and integrated spell lessons are designed to work together—so accessibility is built in, not added later.
Why families choose our speller resources
Created for the way your student learns and communicates. Our unit studies and lessons are built for spellers from the start, with meaningful academic content, family learning, and predictable spell lessons planned together as one connected experience.
Age-respectful academics
Spellers deserve rich ideas, engaging topics, and meaningful content that honors their age, intelligence, and capacity to learn.
Support at every stage
Students do not need to be open on the boards. Lessons can be used with beginning spellers, students building regulation and motor skills, and more experienced communicators.
Predictable lesson structure
A consistent lesson and question format helps students know what to expect while giving parents a clear framework they can use with confidence.
Integrated unit studies
Our unit studies and spell lessons are designed together—not as separate add-ons—so spellers can participate in the same literature, history, science, and family learning from the beginning.
Ages and levels
Find the right starting point for your learner.
Our history and science resources are offered in Levels A and B, while math and language arts are organized into Steps 1, 2, and 3. Each option reflects age, content complexity, and academic readiness—not spelling fluency or openness on the boards.
Age 5–8 · Age 8–11 · Age 11–14
Start with age. Fine-tune by subject.
Use your learner’s chronological age as the starting point, then review the samples and comparison guide for the subject you’re choosing. History and science use Levels A and B, while math and language arts use Steps 1, 2, and 3. The goal is an age-respectful academic fit—not placement based on spelling fluency or openness on the boards.
