There are various levels for reading, also taught under the Mastery Based approach. In the Mastery based approach, the levels don't correspond to grade levels. The student must master one concept before moving forward to a more advanced level, regardless of age. Reading is about results, same for spelling.

• Logical Sequence

• Through building positive relationships mentoring youth.
• Helping youth set goals.
• Empowering young people to take ownership of their learning and choices.
• Applying what they learn in all area of life, THE REAL WORLD.

During the learning process, we ideally use three main pathways to learning:   visual, auditory and kinesthetic

We are wired to learn using the three pathways, and the strength of each modality is different for each person. Some people may be very strong visual learners, while others learn best auditorily or kinesthetically. 

• watching as new spelling concepts are demonstrated with color-coded letter tiles
• seeing the spelling words written down
• looking at and reading the flashcards during review sessions

• reviewing the flashcards orally
• segmenting words aloud
• saying the sounds of the phonograms as they are written down

• writing down dictated phonograms, phrases, and sentences
• building new spelling words with the letter tiles
• practicing spelling with the pointer finger on various surface

Actively involving students in the spelling lessons through multisensory instruction speeds up the learning process.

When students are taught using all three pathways to the brain:  the visual, the auditory, and the kinesthetic, they learn even more than when they are taught only through their strongest pathway
