“Wanda Sanseri wrote Spell to Write and Read, a guide for teaching the first four years of language arts—phonics, penmanship, spelling, reading, composition, logic, and introductory grammar—using methods originally presented by Romalda Spalding in The Writing Road to Reading. The Writing Road to Reading has a challenging organizational structure that makes it difficult for parents to use without assistance, so Wanda came up with her own easier-to-follow presentation.

The heart of Spell to Write and Read (SWR) is the phonograms which children practice saying, writing, seeing, and reading. Phonetically-taught spelling is the primary tool used for teaching writing and reading rather than a skill to be picked up later through reading.

The program uses its own system for marking the phonograms and highlighting rules in spelling words. Students internalize spelling in a way that naturally blends into reading.” – Cathy Duffy Reviews
