Description

"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."--Page 4 of cover.

spelling "rules" in the book all those years ago helped me be an excellent speller all through school as well as today, and it is helping my children. An excellent book, one that has stood the test of time.

This worked well with both my boys, and also helped with spelling. After a few months of working on the phonograms, my boys simply started reading words. No pain or stress involved. In the meantime, their little hands were building up the muscles needed to write properly.

Do you know a child who struggles with read and/or spelling. This is the end all in teaching writing. Good old fashion success happens for every reader I have ever helped using this method. I love, love, love Spalding.
