About the STEP System The STEP spelling system is designed to engage children with the wonder of language; letters forming words that convey things in the real world. The physicality of the objects in the STEP system is very intentional. Wheels that spin, balloons that pop, letter blocks that you can pick up and throw and make noise when they drop. Engagement encourages replay, which allows the repetition that fosters deeper learning. Drawing on the same concepts that moved instructors to engrave letter shapes into wooden cubes hundreds of years ago, but with modern technology able to take it to a completely new level, the STEP spelling system is as much about the delight of learning as it is about spelling proficiency.
