If students move quickly through the scope and sequence the next grade can adapt easily as they are using the same program. This allows for flexibility in the language program. The teachers can follow the pace of the students, and reintroduce lessons in a familiar way.
The teacher records when each student can decode and encode the sounds and rules taught in the program in an easy to read and understand record page. At the end of the term, during the hand over between the grades, the records can be exchanged and the new teacher can instantly see where each child is, where they will need to offer support, where they will need to differentiate, and how they can be inclusive for the whole class.

Teachers can mark the record pages with the areas they think the students should review ready for their next grade. All of this means the spelling programs can begin being taught straight away without any prep or research time from the teachers. This makes for a much smoother transition between grades.
Having a record keeping program transferrable between grades because they’re all using the same program, is beneficial to the teachers and to the students. The teacher knows where to begin in the program and where to add support, and the students are already familiar with the learning to spell program so can confidently review the work they’ve done ready to move on to new lessons.
