Reading - Sing, Spell, Read & Write Phonics Part 1

I used this program while homeschooling my oldest son for Kindergarten and 1st Grade. I loved it! My 2nd son also learned many of the concepts while listening to the songs. Now, my two boys are in public school. Their teachers are amazed at how well they are reading (at least a year above grade level) and how well they can spell. I especially like how SSRW teaches the CORRECT letter formation. Go volunteer in an elementary classroom and you'll see how many kids are using incorrect formation!

The teachers are powerless because the "Reading Specialist" in your district chose the curriculum and EVERYONE must follow. Therefore, if you want this program in your schools, you MUST speak with your Board and get that Reading Specialist to add Sing, Spell, Read & Write into your curriculum. It WORKS and teachers LOVE it!!! Glad your boys learned properly, yet I'm sad that ALL kids are not using this program.

I used this with my homeschooled children. They now read beaurtifully. We decided to use this with our youngest autistic son. He is unable to speak but can now point correctly to the letters. He will read and write regardless of his speaking ability because of this unique program. The integration of music and pointing makes this useful for the autistic that cannot pronounce properly.

Yes! In fact there is an Autistic School in Florida that uses SSR&W with their children. All my best to your children.

So TRUE!!! Thanks for sharing your experiences. I have also used it successfully with many students. I wish it could be used by all reading teachers. It would save a lot of time and energy.

A wonderful presentation. Sing, Spell, Read and Write is one of the very best phonics programs ever developed. I am delighted that a high profile publisher like Pearson is keeping it in print. Every teacher should find teaching beginning read the same joy and success as this courageous young teacher. Notice that she had previously taught whole-language. Don Potter
