Spelling Mastery: Overview 

Research-based and classroom-proven for over 

40 years, Spelling Mastery is designed to help your 

students become confident, life-long spellers. 

Enhance your students NAPLAN spelling results 

Extensive studies have shown that Spelling Mastery, following 

correct implementation, is able to raise the spelling skills of 

students by at least one year above their grade level norms, with 

these gains being retained for longer. 

Strategise, not memorise 

Unlike traditional spelling teaching methods which rely on rote 

learning, Spelling Mastery builds dependable spelling skills by 

interweaving the phonemic, morphographic and whole-word 

approaches to spelling. 

Explicit, not implicit instruction 

Thorough and ongoing research has demonstrated that the 

instructional techniques used in Spelling Mastery make it 

easier for students to become confident, strategic spellers. 

Essential skills and concepts are meticulously presented and 

systematically recycled, ensuring long-term retention. 

‘Spelling Mastery is a fun way of making spelling 

“click” for our students. The students are engaged in 

the program which accommodates all our students’ 

learning needs. The directional approach to the program 

ensures that the skill is firstly modelled, then applied 

and remembered.’ 

Get Ready, Get Set and Go 

Spelling Mastery requires only two essential components to 

deliver the program effectively: 

1. Teacher’s Presentation Book — contains scripted lessons 

that require minimal teacher preparation 

2. Student Workbook — helps students apply spelling rules 

and principles to their writing

Spelling Mastery: 

Program Details 

GRADES 

1–6 Intervention 

to Year 10 DI NAPLAN 

In just 15-20 minutes a day, you can teach your students the 

strategies they need to become successful lifelong spellers and 

give them the confidence to tackle challenges such as national 

testing. Spelling Mastery is a research-based program that 

employs the Direct Instruction (DI) method to enable teachers 

to deliver highly interactive, structured lessons that help 

students learn dependable spelling skills. 

Spelling Mastery has identified three approach strategies— 

phonemic, morphemic and whole-word—that enable students 

to learn about the relationship between sounds, word parts and 

spelling patterns, and apply these principles to their writing. 

The phonemic strategy helps beginner spellers to: 

n Use sound-symbol correspondence as a foundation 

for spelling 

n Generalise the spelling of many words and word parts 

that follow regular patterns 

The morphemic strategy teaches more advanced students to: 

n Spell meaningful prefixes, suffixes and word bases 

n Combine words and word parts to spell multisyllabic 

words using a small number of reliable rules 

The whole-word approach helps students at all levels to: 

n Spell common, high-frequency words which are irregular 

in their letter sounds 

n Commit these potentially troublesome words to memory 

Components 

Teacher Materials include: 

n 1 Teacher Presentation Book 

n 1 Copy of the Instructional Software 

N.B. Software is not essential to the running of the program. 

Key Features 

n Concentrated strategy instruction reduces the number of 

words students need to memorise 

n Systematic review of every skill, pattern and rule ensure 

long-term retention 

n Ideal preparation for national testing 

What Teachers Are Saying 

‘We have been implementing the Spelling Mastery Program 

across Years 1 to 6 for the past 10 years, with great success. 

The spelling ages of our students have improved dramatically 

in recent years, and our NAPLAN test results indicate a high 

level of achievement in spelling compared to the rest of the 

state. From a teaching and learning perspective the results 

have been very pleasing.’ 

Mrs Michelle Leftwich 

Coordinator of Teaching and Learning 

Coomera Anglican College, Queensland 

‘This year at Emmanuel, a group of dedicated secondary 

teachers has taught SRA Spelling Mastery lessons to secondary 

students who are having difficulty with spelling. The students 

are vertically grouped from Grades 7 to 10 and placed at the 

appropriate level of the teacher-directed, carefully sequenced 

instructional program. 

After only the first five months of tuition, the results have 

been impressive. Of the 38 students participating, 13% have 

improved their spelling ages by over four years, 15% by over 

two years, and 23% by over one year.’

SRA McGraw-Hill Reading 

Laboratories 

The Original Comprehension Box 

Develop independent, confident readers with 

a proven levelled reading program 

Originated in the 1950’s, SRA McGraw-Hill Reading 

Laboratories were developed by teachers to have a strong focus 

on comprehension and the improvement of important skills 

such as vocabulary, fluency and word analysis. Today, the SRA 

McGraw-Hill Reading Laboratories have stood the test of time 

and are used in classrooms across the country. 

Ideal for NAPLAN preparation 

With an emphasis on independent work and self-correction, 

students build ownership and understanding of their progress 

as they move through the program. The result is the confidence 

to tackle bigger challenges including NAPLAN testing. 

Engage your students 

Featuring a variety of text types at different levels including 

narratives, reports, biographies and non-fiction, the selections 

in each Reading Laboratory will capture the imagination of your 

students and get even the most reluctant of the group excited 

about reading. 

Use Reading Laboratories in your classroom to: 

■■ 

■■ 

■■ 

■■ 

Develop comprehension, vocabulary, fluency, word analysis 

and study skills 

Reinforce specific skills in which certain students show 

weakness 

Engage students’ interest and increase their knowledge 

based upon using a wide array of fiction and non-fiction 

selections 

Promote independent student work 

Make the most of classroom time 

Reading Laboratories let you make the most of every minute 

of learning time. The program’s levelled approach to reading 

instruction helps teachers meet the challenge. 

The basic design of the Reading Laboratories is simple: each 

student’s skill level is matched to colour-coded, levelled reading 

selections. The reading levels gradually increase in complexity 

and selections gradually increase in word count to keep 

students challenged as they progress through the program.

Expertly developed by Dr Rhonda Farkota, a Senior Research 

Fellow at the Australian Council for Educational Research, 

specialist in Direct Instruction and a former Assistant 

Director of NAPLAN 

Complete program with 160 lessons, each lesson is 

composed of 20 strands and in-built correction procedures 

to provide immediate feedback 

Suitable for use as stand-alone lessons or lesson openers 

for warming up 

No teacher preparation time is required, which makes 

EMM easy to implement for teachers and teacher aides with 

limited mathematical expertise

Comprising 20 different strands (one question from each strand 

per lesson), EMM is taught to an entire class. These 20 strands 

are taught concurrently, each starting at base level then moving 

through their particular fields, merging and interrelating with 

one another. Students learn the strands daily in incremental 

proportions and because they are reinforced and built upon 

daily, they are retained.
