Fifth and sixth grade students have alarmingly poor spelling skills that do not improve with existing curriculum and tools, and teachers struggle to find effective interventions for both grades.
Existing spelling tools and curriculum are designed for lower grades or general writing, and do not provide targeted, engaging spelling practice that sticks for upper elementary students; plus, sixth grade has no spelling curriculum at all.
