Your Simplify Writing® Spelling Program Just Got Even Better

Jul 10, 2026

We're excited to share that the expanded Simplify Writing® Spelling Program is now available on the dashboard!

Over the past year, many of teachers have asked for even more explicit teaching support within our spelling lessons. We listened! You'll find all the same spelling activities you've been using, now enhanced with step-by-step instructional plans. These updates are designed to help educators teach each spelling set with greater clarity and confidence.

This refinement focuses on making the instructional intent more transparent while preserving the program's original design and sequence.

Each spelling set now includes:

  • Step-by-step daily lesson plans with sample scripts
  • Clear teacher language and instructional guidance
  • Explicit explanations of the targeted spelling patterns
  • Colorful anchor charts for student reference
  • Sample answer keys for every activity

We hope these enhancements make planning and teaching even easier while continuing to provide students with systematic, research-based spelling instruction.

Thank you for being part of the Simplify Writing® community!
