The Colegio Maya School follows the spelling program "Words Their Way." This
sequential word study program challenges each individual student by having
them focus on the spelling words appropriate for their own level, and also
allows students to progress through the spelling levels at their own speed.
New words are practiced every week through a variety of fun sorting and
writing activities, and are then reviewed each Friday with a weekly test.
