Description
Spell to Write and Read (SWR) by Wanda Sanseri is designed exclusively to work with the W.I.S.E. Guide for Spelling; together they are considered a complete reading and spelling program. SWR functions as a step-by-step teacher's guide to accompany the specific word lists in the W.I.S.E. Guide. Covering preparation, philosophy, preschool pointers, reading aloud, evaluating achievement levels, and teaching penmanship with phonograms, it also illustrates in scripted detail the spelling dictation process and the spelling rule Reference Pages with instructions and examples. These spelling rule Reference Pages are central to the entire teaching/learning system. Ideas for reading assignments, ways to improve comprehension skills and methods to refine composition skills round out the teacher's tools. SWR is the overall master book of a product combination that works together to teach the first four to five years of language arts or to remediate students of any age.
Publisher's Description of Spell to Write and Read (repl Tchng Rdg Hm &
By Wanda Sanseri. 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, we can teach all children, regardless of learning styles, to read and spell.
Reviewer Heidi Shaw from the Old Schoolhouse calls the Spell to Write and Read program: "The spelling program with results! That's how I would begin to describe the very comprehensive, very complete set of material. I know from firsthand experience that this program works and the results are impressive to say the least."
Category Description for Spell to Write and Read
What do The Writing Road to Reading, and this program, Spell to Write & Read have in common? Both have similar (and potentially confusing) names. Both would be labeled intensive phonics. And Both would claim a teaching progression something like this: sounds of speech - building words - developing a spelling vocabulary - writing original sentences - and then reading follows. If that sounds a little backwards to you, remember that these programs have very devoted followers who claim great success using this methodology and Spell to Write and Read is one of Cathy Duffy's 100 Top Picks for Homeschooling Curriculum.
Spell to Write and Read by Wanda Sanseri is an updated replacement for a previous program (Teaching Reading at Home and School) and is designed exclusively to work with the W.I.S.E. Guide for Spelling, also by Mrs. Sanseri. While SWR and the WISE Guide are considered a reading and spelling program, they could also be used as a stand-alone spelling program for a child who is already reading. SWR functions as a step-by-step teacher's guide to accompany the specific word lists in the WISE Guide. Covering preparation, philosophy, preschool pointers, reading aloud, evaluating achievement levels, and teaching penmanship with phonograms, it also illustrates in scripted detail the spelling dictation process and the spelling rule Reference Pages with instructions and examples. These spelling rule Reference Pages are central to the entire teaching/learning system. Ideas for reading assignments, ways to improve comprehension skills and refine composition skills round out the teacher's tools. In summary, this is the overall master book of a product combination that works together to teach the first four to five years of language arts or to remediate students of any age. The other components include the WISE Guide, 70 Basic Phonogram Cards, Spelling Rule Cards, 70 Basic Phonograms CD, the Primary Learning Log, and the Black Learning Log (more details on these below).
The W.I.S.E. Guide for Spelling (W.I.S.E. stands for Words, Instruction, and Spelling Enrichments) includes a core spelling list that is an updated version of the well-known Ayres List - a foundational vocabulary of 2000 spelling words. Words are divided into manageable daily lessons with 2 pages of teaching ideas for each set of 20 words. Each lesson has preliminary warm-up drills, motivational comments for introducing the lesson, and reminders to teach specific Reference Pages from SWR. Sample sentences are given to illustrate each word. Selections come from the Bible, literature, quotes from famous people, or instructive comments. Each word is divided into syllables and marked for spelling rules. Suggested teacher dialogue is provided. Optional enrichment activities involve a wide variety of subjects - art, literature, composition, grammar, etymology, alphabetizing, analogies, oxymorons, and many more.
This program, like other intensive phonics programs, is exceedingly detailed and painstakingly comprehensive and thorough. The extreme attention to detail would detract for many, but for those who want to follow a thoroughly researched and carefully implemented approach, this may be for you. ~ Janice

Why did you choose this?
Is there a difference between the older and newest edition?
I contacted the author of the curriculum to understand the differencees. I would suggest that.
Do you need to purchase the teaching manual alongside the Core Kit?
Look closely at the Core Kit. It should have the Teacher’s Manual in it. You need both the Spell to Write and Read Teacher’s Manual and WISE Guide for Spelling.
I've heard good things, but I'm very nervous that s-2-w-&-r will be a nightmare and result in little progress like teach your child to read in 100 easy lessons program--it looks complicated and is making similar claims, the list of things to buy is long, do I really need all of those things?
SWR and 100 Easy Lessons are two totally different approaches to phonics and reading although there are some visual similarities in the teaching materials. SWR has a strong emphasis on learning the phonograms and spends time primarily on that with the reading aspect following along - unlike 100 Easy Lessons which strives to get the student reading as quickly as possible with a minimum of phonics instructions. SWR is an Orton-Gillingham approach and is more thorough and comprehensive in terms of the phonics that are actually covered, taking the student beyond the ending point of 100 EL.
The SWR Core Kit includes the items needed for the program.
048480 Core Kit (K-4) - 94.50
Includes:
Spell to Write & Read (book),
WISE Guide for Spelling (book)
70 Basic Phonogram Cards
Phonogram CD
Spelling Rule Cards.
How well would Explode the Code complement Spell to Write and Read?
I personally think you will not need to supplement S to W&R. It is a very complete program using lots of learning approaches so I really doubt your student(s) will fatigue from the program or need anything to switch to for a bit or supplement with. I would focus 100% on S to W & R and enjoy the progress your students make.
This recommendation comes from a mom who is about to embark on her own SWR journey. But my student is an alum of Logic of English Foundations A-C, which was based off of the learning methods of SWR. My guy had lots o fun learning with this method. We r using SWR to go beyond what LOE provided him.
I would focus entirely on SWR before you decide to complement/supplement with anything. It's a wonderful method of learning and is completely stand alone in its thoroughness. It's amazing. If only I had learned phonograms and such as a student rather than having to learn it as an adult, my spelling especially, would be all the better for it...
Best wishes!
