For over 30 years, we’ve supported over 400 schools across Australia, New Zealand and Asia with our innovative methods of teaching English.
The Spalding method may be implemented across your whole curriculum – including pre-school to grade six, adult learners, learners with difficulties or non-english speaking backgrounds.
The method may be implemented in it’s entirety or gradually over a period of time offering flexibility in when you train your staff. And once trained, your staff will have a continuous, cohesive, and sequential model that can be taught throughout your whole school.

| A comprehensive English Literacy Course, with all skills integrated. | One aspect of literacy is offered, with extra training and skills needed to integrate each element of the learning process. |
| Provides a sequential, systematic program with daily and weekly objectives and activities. | Teachers and educational leaders have to interpret exactly what an objective means at each level and then decide which skills are required and how to teach that piece of knowledge. |
| All assessment tasks for each level of learning are provided. Throughout training teachers are given information regarding how the assessments correspond to Australian benchmarks | Teachers are required to source their own assessments or if assessments are provided are unsure of how they relate to Australian standards. |
| Provides a diagnostic approach with guidelines and suggestions for dealing with difficult student cases. | Often not diagnostic but relies on teacher judgements. Advice on how to interpret data is often minimal. |
| Outlines the warning signs to look out for when students are struggling so they can be guided and supported before they have failed. Additionally suggestions are provided to address a student’s lack of progress. | Many adopt a “wait to fail” approach where struggling students are not identified until they have failed at a particular skill |
