Comments from previous candidates: "I got caught up at work and was unable to attend the live spelling session - but I got up extra early this morning and watched to the recording. Fabulous. I really enjoyed it, and wished I could have been there to interact with the tutor and the other teachers. It's helped reinforce what I'm doing and give me some new strategies." - Teaching Spelling Strategies Candidate November 2014
