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.

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.
