How does eStickers work?
Students spell a list of words to dictation and eStickers analyzes and scores responses to create a report with practical data that guides instructional planning and helps instructors and students monitor progress in word study knowledge, skills, and strategies over time.
1. Select and purchase one of our eStickers packages.
2. Log in to your paid eStickers account.
3. Select a word list from one of our popular pre-loaded word lists — including SPELL-Links Pattern Inventory and Analysis Tool, Words Their Way inventories and the TWS-5 test.
4. Dictate the words and allow students to enter their responses in real time directly on the eStickers website — OR — administer a dictated test via paper and pencil and later enter student spellings on the eStickers website.
5. Use the eStickers report to group students; to focus instruction where most needed; to measure and document progress over time; to provide the students with meaningful, motivating feedback; and to modify your instructional focus as needed.

Unlike inventories and other traditional measures that merely quantify the number of words or patterns spelled correctly or incorrectly, eStickers uniquely analyzes and scores each misspelled segment in a word.
The unique scoring method of eStickers is proven to be a sensitive and valid measure of a student’s progress in word study knowledge and skill. With eStickers, you’ll be able to identify areas of instructional need and document every step of progress along a student’s path to mastery of word-level reading and spelling skills. You’re a busy professional. Let eStickers do all the time-consuming analysis, scoring, reporting, and lesson planning work for you!
What do the eStickers numbers represent?
Each spelling error in a misspelled word is analyzed and assigned a number from 1 to 13, corresponding to SPELL-Links’ 14 Strategies for Reading & Spelling Success; strategy 14 Look It Up is not used for eSticker error analysis. Each of the 14 SPELL-Links Strategies focuses on a specific type of phonological, orthographic, and semantic/morphological skill and meta-linguistic method for reading and spelling words.
