Want to know the secret to good spelling?
Good spellers know the look, sounds & rules of spelling.
YOU can develop this skill too.
It’s never to late to improve your spelling. All it takes is 5 minutes a day, step-by-step, slowly building your knowledge and understanding of
- spelling strategies,
- letter patterns, their sounds and differences,
- spelling rules & exceptions.
You’re in the right place if
- you can’t get the promotion you want because your spelling is bad,
- you’ve gone through life not caring about spelling but now you need it for emails, your job, or to help your children,
- you’re desperate to improve your job prospects, or get on a training course,
- you’re lacking confidence in your writing and reading skills,
- your schooling/education was bad and you don’t think you’ll ever spell well.
I know what’s it’s like to have a bad education, with teachers who don’t care, and I used to be resentful about it! BUT everything can be learned, especially spelling. I’ve done it so can you.
You can take responsibility for your learning now, you can choose yourself, join me on this Spelling Rules, Patterns and Strategies Masterclass course!
About Joanne Rudling from howtospell.co.uk
I have 18 years of experience teaching spelling, English, writing, and literacy to native English speakers, and ESOL (second language) students.
I’ve taught in colleges, universities and organisations and in the process have learnt the best practices of teaching spelling.
I’ve gathered all this experience and knowledge together to create this course, including information from the best teachers and practitioners in the spelling, English language, dyslexic and literacy fields.
If you could spell really well what would that mean to you?
I get emails from a lot of people – people like you who are desperate to improve their spelling so they can get a promotion, to get on a training course or go back to college or university or to move to the next level in their job/careers.
People like C.W. who needs to improve his spelling because he’s going to take over from his manager when they retire.
People like Dalia who needs to improve her English, reading and spelling. (All the letter patterns have word lists with the pronunciation)
People like Mike who’s a security guard but needs to improve his spelling to get a promotion.
What some people have said about the course:
When I go back to work I’m going to go for a band three role, which is one under a nurse, and it’s all down to you and the support you have given me, thank you so much. If you want to use this letter to show on your site go ahead.Regards, Annette
Now that I understand that there is a logic to spelling it excites me to learn patterns, and the memory tricks are great too. Kind regards, Matt
Thank you so much. I’m 57, a Grandmum and work online. Spelling has always held me back in life but not anymore. With the help of this course I feel differently about spelling I can see a way forward thank you so much. Alison (check below for more testimonials)

Do you spend hours watching crappy TV? Do you spend time brooding on how bad life is and how others have got the life you want? Do you spend time wanting desperately to spell and write well?

Set yourself a goal – decide to do a Module a week, or do a letter pattern a week and perfect that. There’s a notepad at the end of each page that is yours, is private, and you can log your progress, problems and questions.

1. Did you know there are 44 sounds of English =
20 vowel sounds and 24 consonant sounds?
So there are 5 vowels (a, e, i, o, u) and 20 vowel sounds but over 149 ways to spell these vowel sounds!
And hundreds of letter patterns for the 24 consonant sounds.
2. There are letter patterns that you need to be able to write automatically as ‘chunks’ of spelling: st-, br-, spr-, -nt, sk-, ie, ei, oy, igh, ough, -ful, -au-, -sure…
Notice and practise these to establish your muscle and visual memory.” Johanna Stirling: “Teaching Spelling”
3. Visual memory is one of our most important ways of remembering things. So identifying letter patterns is a great way to help spelling.
“Important point: don’t look for rules look for patterns,” Brendan Cunningham, beating dyslexia.com
4. Spelling is a visuo-motor skill. That means it’s a visual physical skill. We see and feel spelling. We rely on the knowledge of the look of the word and the feel of writing it. But the greater the number of senses we use the more likely we are to remember spellings.
So stop giving yourself a hard time for not spelling well and start doing something about it.
And improve your job prospects, confidence, future.
Everything can be improved by working at it – not dreaming about it.
- practise it
- use it
- think about it
- notice it
- and get help from the best spelling teachers

You too can develop this ability to recognise letter patterns and their sounds,
Sometimes the pattern makes a different sound; this course will go over the differences.
The purpose is to develop your visual memory for what looks right but using pronunciation can help.
We’ll look at letter patterns like: thr-, str-, spr, scr-, ight, ough, and word families like -tract, -struct and how to remember them. We’ll look at rules with ei and ie, and word contrasts like ou/ow, oi/oy, j/g, ee/ea, e/a… 
If you do a few spelling games, quizzes, exercises every day the spelling will get into your long term memory.
This course has workbooks, exclusive games, quizzes, videos, worksheets, information sheets, spelling tests, pronunciation help and much much more.
