Writing Road to Reading 5th Rev Ed:
The Spalding Method for Teaching
Speech, Spelling, Writing, and
Reading (Harperresource Book) by
Mary Elizabeth North
Just Do It!
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.
Personal Review: Writing Road to Reading 5th Rev Ed: The
Spalding Method for Teaching Speech, Spelling, Writing, and
Reading (Harperresource Book) by Mary Elizabeth North
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.
