• include an introductory and consolidation phase that helps students establish their weekly spelling routine
• place a strong emphasis on phonics and spelling strategies
• include assessment activities during the program and at the end of the year and records each students' pre-test and post test results
• cater for individual spelling abilities with graded thematic spelling lists in each level.
