The Hands On Teaching Programme consists of 10 levels, which is then further divided into topics covering a different sound, spelling pattern or rule. The Programme may be followed in order of the various levels or it may be used to reinforce specific areas of spelling difficulties. The order and the word lists follow the structure of Alpha To Omega by Béve Hornsby and Frula Shear. The programme is based on “active learning” where the student is involved in using the materials that work best for them. It aims to develop reading, spelling, study skills & memory strategies for use with all aspects of learning. As the student progresses through the Hands On Teaching Programme their confidence and self esteem improves so that they can reach their potential in all areas of learning.
