Sorry I have to add this:  I feel like here in the U.S. the emphasis is
much more on context than finer mechanics.  In literacy programming,
there is a balance I would say between whole language and phonics, but
once you're out of that level, I'm not sure if programs lean toward one
way or the other.

Here are some examples from the initial assessment. Well over half the
marks are for spelling, and a level is assigned on the basis of a cut
score:


Circle the correct spelling to answer questions 63-66

Be careful, the _________ is boiling hot (ketle kettel kettle kettal)

The child fell in a huge (puddel puddle pudel pudle)

(No prizes for guessing which of these items comes from a 'family'
version for parents and carers!!)

One word in each sentence is spelled incorrectly.  Write the correct
spelling of the word in the box to answer questions 67-72

69 She had to take both children shoping


71  The sond of the school bus outside woke him up.
