The AVKO Challenge and Guarantee

Participants may watch a demonstration in which a student (or students) of their choice learn to spell a difficult word such as scattered, psychology, or malicious.  Your choice!   They will learn to spell whichever word they select without once seeing the word, without studying the word, and without writing it seven times.  This is guaranteed.  If Don McCabe cannot get the students you selected to do this, AVKO will refund the entire cost of the inservice.
