A man of new words...

The late Edward Rondthaler was a strong supporter of a spelling reform called ‘SoundSpel’. He passionately believed that a new method of spelling would eliminate the struggles of learning to spell English through phonetic spelling.

Using SoundSpel every word would be spelt exactly as it is pronounced making it possible to spell any word so long as you can say it.

Rondthaler is best known for this wonderful clip, in which he demonstrates some of the inconsistencies of English spelling and how the new method of spelling, ‘SoundSpel’ would resolve them.

"Spellzone fits in beautifully with our Scope and Sequence of Phonological Awareness and Spelling. It also aligns perfectly with the four areas of spelling knowledge and uses the Brain, Ears, Eyes approach to learning spelling."
