Today's soap box: spelling is not just for kids who are considered non-speaking.

Some kids can talk and still cannot reliably answer questions, show what they know, or communicate beyond basic wants and needs. That has been true for both of my kids in very different ways, and spelling has completely changed what learning and communication can look like for them.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your “speaking” child might still need more support than speech alone can offer, this post is for you.

When “Speaking” Isn’t Enough When we first started spelling with Lizzie, I was honestly unsure whether it was even the right fit for her because she is speaking. She has words. She has phrases. She can yell commands like “water!” She talks about her favorite things. She repeats phrases she hears. On the surface, that can ma...

What does spelling look like for our 6-year-old minimal/unreliable speaker?

Today, it looked like this:

✅ Foam roller under her feet
✅ Weighted stuffy in her lap
✅ Stuffy in her non-spelling hand
✅ Chewy necklace
✅ Weighted pencil for poking

And guess what? She did AMAZING.

This is your reminder that spelling doesn’t have to look neat, still, or typical to be meaningful.

For us, step one is always helping her body feel safe, supported, and ready. Intentional motor, sensory support, and regulation are not extras — they are the foundation. They are the building blocks of a strong spell session.

Did she spell for an hour? Nope. Not even close.

She spelled for 10–15 minutes.

But when you’re 6, every minute counts. Every regulated moment counts. Every attempt counts. Every bit of purposeful communication counts.

And today? She showed up and did beautiful work.

If you’ve been looking for the right curriculum for your speller, this is a great time to jump in.

Lately our crew of four kids (ages 6, 8, 10, and 12) has been doing something we call family school—and it has completely changed our homeschool days. It started out of pure desperation. I needed a simpler rhythm. Fewer transitions. Less pulling materials for four different kids every hour without sacrificing real learning.

And somehow… it turned into what I can only describe as literal magic.

Each day we do one subject together, and we’ve started using Dare to Homeschool Your Speller Units as our whole-family anchor. If you’re thinking, “Wait… how does that work with a speller and siblings at different levels?” I get it. That was my question too.

So here’s exactly what we do—and how you can try it in your own home.
