I would love your input!<br /><br />:) Jen<br />http://joyfulshepherdess.blogspot.com/2011/02/charlotte-mason-and-spell-to-write-and.htmlJenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11840017432763999734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5059777806499506820.post-44487189667500770932010-08-29T19:33:19.113-07:002010-08-29T19:33:19.113-07:00@Blossom,

There are several curriculums that have resulted from different people prepared by Spalding herself if I understand the history of it correctly :) In grade school, my 3-5th grade teachers used the Writing Road to Spelling (I believe that is what it was, if not it was a more primitive version of SWR...?) which is amazingly similar to what I use now. I have always attributed my success and interest in language to those good beginnings... :)<br />That's fun that you know someone who swears by the method! ;) <br />and you're right! it is a VERY good remedial program as well...<br /><br />:)amy in peruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14514765606705513864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5059777806499506820.post-71369297036459037112010-08-29T18:51:03.549-07:002010-08-29T18:51:03.549-07:00My mother in law used Writing and Spelling Road to...My mother in law used Writing and Spelling Road to Reading with all of her kids (she homeschooled) and also has been a tutor, using the same program, for over 25 years now. Back when she first discovered the program it was called Writing Road to Reading. <br />It is the same idea but different publisher (?). Anyway, I have the books and phonograms and whatnot, just have never actually 'figured it out'. By that I mean, I haven't taken the time needed to read how to do it :)<br />I know it definitely works though. I've seen many who otherwise would not have done well with reading or writing. Anyway... :)Blossom Barden (NorthLaurel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07809939585303395939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5059777806499506820.post-49183829785322140692010-08-29T11:39:17.413-07:002010-08-29T11:39:17.413-07:00If I were the CM/AO police, I would put out an APB...If I were the CM/AO police, I would put out an APB for the smooth momma with the fly grammar moves.<br />Lead suspect: Gangsta Ames! <br />Current location: Peru<br />Status: Armed and dangerous with some wicked finger spelling maneuversMelissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08875569315407723156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5059777806499506820.post-31145034333002133422010-08-29T05:50:02.198-07:002010-08-29T05:50:02.198-07:00Richele,

I.am.impressed.<br /><br />I'm also impressed with those multi-purpose clips...and your full-body cursive...and your energy level...and just how clean your floors are.<br /><br />Oh, and a huge sigh of relief that you are teaching your children spelling and not gangsta signs. It would have been awkward for me to comment had it been the latter.Richelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10040133815286428699noreply@blogger.com
