Logic of English takes a unique approach: instead of teaching spelling through memorization and word lists, it teaches the actual rules that govern English spelling. There are 75 phonograms and 31 spelling rules that explain the vast majority of English words. Students learn to decode and encode words by understanding the system, not by rote memory. The Foundations series (PreK–2) integrates reading, writing, and spelling in each lesson. Essentials (grades 3+) is more intensive. This is a teacher-intensive program that requires parent preparation, but the results are remarkably thorough.
