Older children who struggle with reading or spelling start at the right level after a free assessment. - How is the starting level decided? Through a free demo class and assessment, which also gives a personal learning plan. - What is the difference between phonics and decoding? Phonics is the sounds letters make; decoding is using those sounds to read new words on your own. - How is Foundational Skills different from phonics? Phonics covers letter sounds and reading words. Foundational Skills adds fluency, spelling, sentences, grammar, writing, listening and speaking. - Is the course taught only in English? Mostly, so children are immersed in English; tutors can explain in the home language when needed. ## Policies - [Privacy Policy](https://spellzee.in/privacy) - [Terms and Conditions](https://spellzee.in/terms) - [Refund Policy](https://spellzee.in/refund)
