What is Spell to Write and Read?

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.

• 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!

Components of the Spell to Write and Read Core Kit!

The Spell to Write and Read Core Kit consists of several important parts which include the following pieces/materials:
      * Spell to Write and Read book, the master teacher's manual for the program
      * WISE Guide for Spelling book, which contains 2000 core Words, Instructions on spelling, and Spelling Enrichments to reinforce and enrich
      * 70 Basic Phonogram Cards, with the phonogram on one side, info and helps on the other
      * 28 Spelling Rules Cards, with a pictorial representation of the spelling rule on one side, and a thorough explanation of the rule on the other

The New England Primer of 1777
edited and expanded by Gary and Wanda Sanseri

David Limbaugh recounts the immense value of this book upon the colonies and beyond by saying,

"The Primer was a staple of school instruction for more than one hundred years and was second only to the Bible in popularity with five million copies reported in existence for a population of around four million people. It was commonly said that the primer 'taught millions to read and not one to sin.'"

That being said, this book is the only hardcover edition we know of that is currently in print. The Primer starts with words divided into syllables and moves on to simple sentences like: Fear God. Tell no lies. It then proceeds to a Bible-based rhyming alphabet, simple prayers, and other helpful materials such as a child's catechism.
