Confident Spellers—For Life
Transform the way your students spell, read, and write with a proven method that works in any classroom.
For Montessori guides, elementary teachers, homeschooling parents, and school leaders ready to end spelling frustration—once and for all.
Is Spelling a Daily Struggle?
You see bright, capable children lose confidence over spelling tests.
You can feel the tension in your classroom every time “test day” comes up.
You’ve tried word lists, games, even new curriculums—yet spelling still feels like an uphill battle, for you and your students.
What if spelling could become a source of pride?
What if your students looked forward to that weekly list—knowing exactly what to do next, and where they’re growing?
Imagine children stopping you in the hallway, eager to share the next word they mastered (not the ones they missed).

Why Unscramble Spelling Works

Proven process: Used successfully in multi-age Montessori settings, public schools, and homeschooling groups for over a decade.
Supports ALL learners: Whether you teach first-year readers or advanced spellers hungry for challenge.
Built for busy educators: Minimal prep, maximum impact. Flexible enough to fit your calendar and class size.
Addressing Your Concerns
“I’m not Montessori trained—will this work?”
Absolutely. Every step is explained in plain language, with tips for both Montessori and traditional settings.
“What about struggling or reluctant spellers?”
The system is designed to meet each child exactly where they are—no pressure to “catch up,” only encouragement to move forward, one word at a time.
“What’s the time commitment?”
Dictation and activities fit within standard class blocks. Most teachers see smoother routines and fewer spelling headaches after week one.
“Can parents and assistants help?”
Yes! Materials and scripts make it easy for anyone to participate—strengthening home/school partnerships along the way.
What’s at Stake
Left unchecked, spelling woes can erode confidence, slow reading progress, and zap the joy from writing.
But when you put a clear, proven plan in place—children start seeing (and celebrating) their own success.
Spelling becomes a pathway, not a roadblock.

What workshop participants are saying…
This has been eye opening for me!
Thank you for helping unlock this spelling mystery!
We have spent so much money on various curriculums and seen very little results.
My oldest daughter is gifted with imagination and strong vocabulary and loves to write stories, but her spelling is so inventive that they are sometimes hard to read for anyone but myself.
I am now confident she will take the spelling challenge and help herself succeed.
While I love learning and taking classes in general, completing professional development courses was often a chore and the material too basic and irrelevant to my work as a Montessori educator. I was so thrilled when I came across Maren Schmidt’s course offerings and now I take advantage of her insightful online courses, newsletters and webinars. I always find myself taking copious notes and applying what I’ve learned immediately to my toddler environment.
I also forward and post her Kids Talk Newsletters so my student’s parents can benefit from her practical knowledge backed by experience and education. Maren is smart, funny and helpful I tell all my teacher friends to take advantage of her offerings.
