"The Writing Road to Reading", by Romalda Bishop Spalding, is the textbook for "The Spalding Method of Phonics for Teaching Speech, Writing, & Reading; For Teachers, For Parents and For Those Learning English as a Second Language" (quoted from the cover). Mrs. Spalding worked side-by-side with the brilliant neurosurgeon, Dr. Samuel Orton, who did extensive research into how we learn to read. Dr. Orton is known as "the grandfather of multisensory education".

This list is for teachers who use the WRTR text in their classrooms or homeschool, and for those inquiring about the WRTR methodology. All teachers, and potential teachers, of the WRTR are invited. However it should be noted that the list owner, Susan Davis, is a home educator and utilizes "Reading Works" by Jay Patterson as a companion manual for teaching the WRTR; this list will undoubtedly reflect Susan’s bias.

Veteran users of the WRTR are especially welcomed and urged to share their experiences with the list. The purpose of this list is to provide teachers, especially home educators, with a forum which will provide support and encouragement while we are attempting to implement the WRTR in our classrooms. A secondary purpose is to inform others of the incredible benefits of the WRTR program. This list is not endorsed or supported by the Spalding Foundation or any other WRTR support organizations or materials.

Fun With the Program!
