For more than fifty years, teachers and parents have used the Spalding Method to help millions of children learn to spell, read, and write. An accredited, phonics-based, total language arts program based on educator Romalda Spalding's intensive study of how children learn, this multisensory approach is so natural and stimulating that reading itself is never taught outright-it simply begins.

The Writings Road to Reading shows teachers and tutors, parents and homeschoolers how to use the Spalding Method with their students and children. Incorporating spelling, writing (including handwriting), and listening/reading comprehension, the Spalding Method engages children's visual, auditory, speech, and tactile faculties to transform the path to reading, writing, and comprehension into a superhighway.

As children put sounds together they form words, then combine those words into sentences. By learning how language works, children develop their creative minds and reasoning skills, which allows them to progress quickly to absorbing-and enjoying-good literature: first graders enjoy Where the Wild Things Are; second graders gobble up The Velveteen Rabbit; third graders savor Charlotte's Web.

Spalding students consistently score far beyond national norms-demonstrated by more than fifty years of student achievement data. Most important, they love to read and write. In a digital world filled with distractions, The Writing Road to Reading is a vital educational tool to help children develop the literacy and critical thinking skills they need to thrive in today's world.

Product description

From the Back Cover

The Writing Road to Reading is a total language arts program that has been used by teachers and parents for over fifty years to teach millions of students to spell, write, and read. Now fully updated to reflect the latest research on how children learn language, this newest edition is easier to use than ever.

The Spalding Method helps train the right and left sides of the brain as children see, hear, read, and write. It is cost-effective and efficient; students use pencils, paper, and their minds. The results are stunning: Children learn to connect speech sounds to print and begin to write and read almost magically. Spalding students perform well in the classroom and on tests--and, most important, they love to read and write.

About the Author

Romalda Bishop Spalding, a graduate of Columbia University, developed her method using principles learned from the eminent neurologist Dr. Samuel T. Orton and her experiences teaching children with language problems at Harvard Children's Hospital and public and private schools.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Good program

I home schooled 9 of my own children and helped with others. We did the phonics cards daily, learning the spelling rules on the back by memory. I did take classes in the 90's when I was implementing it. I am now using this program to tutor grand children to help with reading and spelling skills. Since I and my children have used it , for years we understand it and can interface it with each child as needed. The phonics is so sound and clear even just using the cards is so helpful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Spalding Writing Road to Reading Works!!!

This is an awesome way to teach 7 year olds to read, write and spell. I had the opportunity in the mid 90’s to attend training on the Spalding Method and it was amazing. The following school year I used the Spalding Method to teach my second graders along with the required curriculum. I can truly say that those children benefitted from that teaching. Those students today are teachers, engineers, pharmacists, college professors as well as blue collar workers. I attribute their successes to the good foundation they had in my class by me implementing the Spalding Writing Road to Reading!
