This teacher's manual gives a step-by-step outline for the entire SWR program. Wanda Sanseri, a homeschool educator with experience as a professional classroom instructor and a private tutor, shows how to teach reading the "write" way. Some children learn to read no matter what a teacher does. By phonetically teaching spelling from the start as the backbone for reading, this program can teach all children, regardless of learning styles, to read and spell. Spell to Write and Read is designed as a the overall step-by-step teacher's guide that accompanies the specific word list in WISE Guide (sold separately, Item #2784). SWR covers preparation, philosophy, pointers for preschoolers, reading aloud, evaluating achievement levels and teaching penmanship with phonograms. It illustrates in scripted detail the spelling dictation process, covers instructions and examples for the teaching spelling rule reference pages, provides ideas for reading assignments, explains ways to improve comprehension skills, and teaches you how to help refine composition skills. Appendices include Wanda's Senate Hearing Speech on Literacy, the Diagnostic Spelling Scale, sample Reference Pages, a summary of keys to the language, detailed lesson plan ideas, a bibliography, glossary, and an index.
