    • Lesson Planner Series for JCSpell - Grades K - 3

      Lesson Planners provide lesson content and activities that pivot around the phonograms or words in each lesson.

      Use this information to inform "Think to Spell" and "Word Talk" routines. Some activities can be developed into station work, some into charting activity, and some into anchor lessons.

      As you plan your lessons, select the content and activities that are most appropriate for your students.

    • "Can Spell" Student Notebooks

      Alice Nine usually uses composition or spiral notebooks during her lessons. However, many teachers requested a specially designed notebook to help guide students with letter formation and with the organization of their lesson work. In response to these requests, Alice Nine created the "Can Spell" student notebooks.
