Research

The Evidence in Evidence-Based

Halifax Learning’s delivery of SpellRead has been rigorously tested. SpellRead has been part of numerous clinical studies, the results of which are published in journals and reading research foundations such as the Florida Centre for Reading Research and What Works Clearinghouse.

More recently, Dr. Jamie Metsala has published research using our student results. Here is the link to her most recent publication.

Our Story

Locally Grown

SpellRead was developed in Prince Edward Island by Dr. Kay MacPhee. The program was brought to Halifax in the late 1990s by Sarah Arnold with support from Dr. Wayne MacDonald, the Chief of Psychology at the lWK Children’s Hospital. Today, the program is widely accepted and referred to by psychologists, speech therapists and educators alike.
