Spellzone gets blogging

Welcome to the Spellzone blog.

The Spellzone team consists of Shireen Shuster who has written the successful Spellzone course and many successful books such as 'Spelling essentials' and 'Stile dyslexia', Barry Perks who is responsible for our marketing and design and Tarot Conway (thats me) the Spellzone web designer.

We are passionate about the teaching of Spelling and the teaching of the English language in general. We believe the same basic learning principles apply to the teaching of english and spelling to children, teenagers and adults regardless of whether this is for use in schools, homes, language schools or for business.

In future blogs we hope to address various issues which pop up in the news regarding spelling and new research which becomes available. In fact there has recently been quite a lot of exciting developments which I hope to report on here very soon. However for the moment I shall just introduce the Spellzone team (done that) and the Spellzone course.

Spellzone is an online course to help people improve their spelling. It is aimed at older students and adults - in general ages 11 upwards. However younger students have successfully used the course and it can be useful for advanced students younger than 11 years. Also the course is not only for native English speakers - it is very useful for students learning English as a foreign language although their English first needs to be at quite an advanced level. It is very common that students of English as a foreign language can have good spoken and even written skills but their spelling still needs some work. Spellzone allows them to work on their spelling skills individually at their own speed and this is why many language schools have been using Spellzone.
