Product Description
The Spalding Method is a total language arts approach that has been used by teachers and parents for nearly 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.

• Excellent! 20 February, 2008
My daughter started reading some phonic cards when she was almost 5 and I was immediately in a panic that I couldn't explain why ow made an O sound in blow and an ow sound in clown. I found this book and in less than six months her penmanship has improved beyond my wildest expectations and she is able to read early reader books on her own. It has been so empowering for her and for me to be able to have a framework for why we pronounce things the way we do. We have encountered very few exceptions to the rules presented in the book. While I feel that the notation system presented is too complex for my daughter, she is able to use the ideas behind the notation (that each phonic unit has multiple sounds that are listed in order of use). For example, if she gets stuck on a word, I can tell her "that is the second sound of c" and then she can sound it out herself.

• Just Do It! 15 September, 2008
Writing Road to Reading is an excellent phonics program. Catch is you have to read the Introduction! Yes, that part that you sometimes skip in a book, you need to read it. It explains the Spalding method and it makes a lot of sense.
I used this book with three of my children and then tried to duck out of the work with my next. It was spelling disaster for him and so I went back to the Writing Road to Reading and started over with phonics and spelling and the results were the same as before- fantastic.
This book has all the spelling rules I missed when I was in school like "one" doesn't make any spelling sense until you learn that it comes from the word "lone" and when the "l" is dropped you are left with "one". Or "two" again, not phonetic but we probably once said the "w" in "two" like we still do in "twin", "twice", "twain" which all refer to two things.
The spelling list is here in great detail and as a bonus in the back of the book is a great reading list through grade six.

• Used Book 03 December, 2007
I purchased this book used and I was made aware before I purchased that the rear cover had a fold in it. I decided to go ahead and purchase the book anyway and was amazed when the book came. I could barely detect the small crease in the back cover. I was definately pleased with the savings and the book with hardly any damage.

• Great Book 13 May, 2007
Thanks for the book. I had an earlier addition, and loved that one to bits (literally). I like the 5th revision even more. The spelling list now has extra notes where the British vs American, or other versions of English are different. I recommend this resource to any other home schoolers, or English teachers, tutors, etc.

• Woudn't Recommend Anything Else 05 December, 2007
this is a must for anyone involved in teaching anyone (especially challenged pupils) to read. The understanding of human learning capacity is right on, and since I've tried several other approaches, none has succeeded as quickly or as long term and as thoroughly as this. I don't know why it's not used more often and more well known. I only wish the government knew the secrets revealed here, then the "no child left behind" program would actually see real benefits. can't recommend this highly enough. Some teachers may need to get the lesson planning guide. but others will do fine with just the book, making lessons up as they plan with each group of students.
