Who is The SPELL500 Method for?
I dedicate this new approach to everyone who has been led to believe that he or she is alone in this world with a spelling problem. You are not alone because the problem is indeed a national one. According to reliable sources, half of the adults in the U.S. are not able to read books written at an eight-grade level (Jonathan Kozol 1985, Illiterate American). The US News and World Report says, "It is forecasted that the decline in reading skills will lead in two decades to an elite, literate class of no more than 30% of the population."

Many famous people are creative in spite of their spelling problems or other learning difficulties. A few such persons are Albert Einstein, Nobel Prize physics winner; James Joyce, Nobel Prize winner for literature; Thomas Edison, inventor; Agatha Christie, English playwright; Winston Churchill, British prime minister and historian; Nelson Rockefeller, US vice president; George S. Patten, US General; entertainers Tim Conway; Tom Cruise, Cher, Whoopi Goldberg, Robin Williams, George Burns, and the list of such people is increasing as more and more people decide to come out of their spelling closets.

Under Teachers' Resources you'll find information and statistics about the struggle many of us experience. Let this information ease a little of the pain that you may have had resulting from not being able to spell. Keep reading these statistics, and know that you are not alone. The pain of not being able to spell correctly is difficult enough, but having to keep this reality a secret is an additional painful experience.
