Level One consists of 180 daily lessons totaling just over 4,000 words. It begins with the word family "in" and ends with the word families "as" and "ac". Level One is normally undertaken by 6-7 year-olds. When a child has mastered the alphabet and basic phonics up through two letter blends, they are ready. This work is commonly used for rehabilitative work and it is not uncommon for teenagers to begin here. We have documented one three year old child successfully completing Level One. The parent/teacher should feel at liberty to judge the student's readiness.

It is recommended that everyone begin in level 1. Please note, however, we have had students as old as age 16 begin at Level One. The instructor should not over-emphasize the normal student age assumption as a great many students come to Sequential Spelling after other programs have failed them and, therefore, may be older than age 7 or age 8. To start this curriculum, students must have a good working knowledge of the alphabet, basic phonics and be comfortable with basic hand-writing or keyboarding, depending on the means they are using to record their work.
