五十多年来，老师和家长们使用Spalding方法帮助数百万的儿童学习拼写、阅读和写作。教育家Romalda Spalding对儿童学习方式进行了深入研究，开发出一种有效的、基于Phonics的全面语言艺术课程，这种多感官的方法符合认知自然规律，激发儿童的阅读兴趣，因此阅读完全不用特意教，很简单地就开始了。Writing Road to Reading: The Spalding Method for Teaching Speech, Spelling, Writing, and Reading是一本Spalding教学法教材，告诉老师家长如何使用Spalding教学法教学生和孩子。Spalding教学法整合了拼写、写作（包括书写）、听力理解和阅读理解，调动儿童的视觉、听觉、言语和触觉，将阅读、写作和理解的崎岖之路变成坦途。孩子们把声音连在一起形成单词，然后把这些单词组合成句子。通过学习语言运作的方法，孩子开发了创造性思维和推理能力，从而他们能快速进步，吸收并喜欢上优秀的文学作品：一年级学生喜欢Where the Wild Things Are《野兽国》；二年级学生狼吞虎咽地读The Velveteen Rabbit《绒布兔子》；三年级学生喜欢Charlotte’s Web《夏洛特的网》。五十多年的学生成绩数据显示，接受Spalding教学法的学生，成绩远高于全国平均水平。重要的是，他们喜欢阅读和写作。在这个充满干扰的数字世界，The Writing Road to Reading 是一个重要的教育工具，不仅帮助孩子认字，更培养他们在当今世界脱颖而出所需的批判性思维能力。 For more than fifty years, teachers and parents have used the Spalding Method to help millions of children learn to spell, read, and write. An accredited, phonics-based, total language arts program based on educator Romalda Spalding’s intensive study of how children learn, this multisensory approach is so natural and stimulating that reading itself is never taught outright—it simply begins.  The Writings Road to Reading shows teachers and tutors, parents and homeschoolers how to use the Spalding Method with their students and children. Incorporating spelling, writing (including handwriting), and listening/reading comprehension, the Spalding Method engages children’s visual, auditory, speech, and tactile faculties to transform the path to reading, writing, and comprehension into a superhighway.  As children put sounds together they form words, then combine those words into sentences. By learning how language works, children develop their creative minds and reasoning skills, which allows them to progress quickly to absorbing—and enjoying—good literature: first graders enjoy Where the Wild Things Are; second graders gobble up The Velveteen Rabbit; third graders savor Charlotte’s Web.  Spalding students consistently score far beyond national norms—demonstrated by more than fifty years of student achievement data. Most important, they love to read and write. In a digital world filled with distractions, The Writing Road to Reading is a vital educational tool to help children develop the literacy and critical thinking skills they need to thrive in today’s world. 

The Writing Road to Reading is a total language arts program that has been used by teachers and parents for over fifty years to teach millions of students to spell, write, and read. Now fully updated to reflect the latest research on how children learn language, this newest edition is easier to use than ever.  The Spalding Method helps train the right and left sides of the brain as children see, hear, read, and write. It is cost-effective and efficient; students use pencils, paper, and their minds. The results are stunning: Children learn to connect speech sounds to print and begin to write and read almost magically. Spalding students perform well in the classroom and on tests—and, most important, they love to read and write. 

Romalda Bishop Spalding, a graduate of Columbia University, developed her method using principles learned from the eminent neurologist Dr. Samuel T. Orton and her experiences teaching children with language problems at Harvard Children’s Hospital and public and private schools.
