Fit Spelling
Spelling proficiency is a crucial skill that impacts overall academic performance and communication confidence. Many students face challenges in spelling due to gaps in understanding phonetic patterns, spelling rules, and sight word recognition. Traditional teaching methods often fall short in providing the personalized, fluency-based approach needed for true mastery.
Spelling Mastery
Fit Spelling offers a targeted, fluency-based program that ensures students achieve spelling proficiency through explicit instruction and practice. The program focuses on four main areas:
- Mastery of Phonetic Patterns: Combining clear instruction with fluency-building exercises to help students understand and apply the sounds of letters and combinations effortlessly.
- Understanding Spelling Rules: Teaching and reinforcing rules like prefixes, suffixes, vowel combinations, and spelling conventions through repeated practice to build automaticity.
- Sight Word Spelling: Enhancing recognition and memorization of common words that do not always follow standard phonetic rules through visual learning and repetition.
- Spelling in Context: Applying spelling skills within sentences and paragraphs to strengthen real-world writing and communication abilities.
This structured approach ensures students can apply their spelling knowledge effectively, leading to improved writing skills and overall academic success.

What our Learners are Saying
Sending our daughters to Fit was one of the best decisions we made. The coaches are knowledgeable, well trained and effective teachers. They develop amazing relationships with their students. The students love to go there. My daughters had different learning styles and Fit was able to help them both with great results. We tried many other tutors and programs but none produced the results we received from Fit. The one on one attention makes all the difference. I highly recommend this center.

The skills he's learned through the one-on-one sessions with talented, patient coaches have improved his ability to communicate and learn effectively. These are skills he will use throughout his school years and life in general. We are so grateful to the coaches at FIT LV for their attentiveness to our son and for helping us get him started on this path before he fell too far behind.
