The Spell to Write and Read Core Kit (hereafter SWR) is an integrated four to six year language arts program founded on scientifically selected words, in grades K through 12, taught with proven techniques and reliable rules. It culminates almost thirty years of work by Wanda Sanseri-classroom English teacher, tutor, author, homeschooler, and SWR trainer-on the subject of how children learn to write and read. The program teaches children from the known to the unknown-in short, children "think to spell."

Studies have shown that good reading skills are directly related to how well a student can hear and work with the sounds in words. Sadly, 30% of high school graduates have trouble doing basic reading or filling out a job application. Often English is blamed as an illogical, perplexingly difficult language that has more exceptions than one can count, but this is simply not the case! Using Spell to Write and Read we can phonetically explain 99% of the most frequently used words.

The English Language has 45 sounds which we spell in 70 basic ways. A phonogram is a letter or set of letters used to represent one or more of these sounds. The quickest, most natural way to learn to spell, write and read is to learn these phonograms. Additionally, there are 28 Spelling Rules that work consistently in the English language with few exceptions. Together, the phonograms and spelling rules make up the backbone for spelling instruction. The SWR approach has several distinct advantages over other reading/language arts programs currently available on the market:

• Capitalizes on a child's initial enthusiasm to learn
• Avoids techniques that clutter or slow down automatic response between symbol and sound
• Reinforces the information through multi-sensory instruction
• Teaches sounds of multi-letter combinations
• Restricts foundational learning to most essential skills for decoding
• Saves time and money
• Stimulates logical thinking

• Follow Step-by-step instructions for the teacher
• Evaluate and wisely place students according to ability
• Cover spelling words from kindergarten to freshman level in college
• Build from the same foundation over four to six years
• Unify Spelling, Writing, and Reading instruction
• Teach logical thinking skills
• And much, much more!
