By capturing spell-checked words from a student’s own documents, SpellDoctor automatically ties authentic writing to the word-study process. Each student receives Web-based lessons containing his or her own errors, uploaded in their misspelled form. High-frequency errors are flagged and automatically trigger extra review.

The program also comes with word lists that the teacher can use to build out lesson content. Students are matched to the list that best meets their needs. Each study word displays with a strategy designed to support proper spelling and usage. Teachers can manually add words as well. Web-based tools enable one teacher to manage dozens of completely differentiated lessons.
