I found a website that offers parents a couple of affordable options for spelling assessment. You can determine your child’s spelling grade level with on-line testing or purchase a comprehensive software assessment (SPELL-2) to use at home with your child on a pay-per-student basis. I use the SPELL-2 software assessment with my students and it gives unbelievable information about why your child has problems spelling and also gives very detailed recommendations about what type of instruction your child needs.
