How can schools and parents help students, 4th grade to college, that are poor readers and spellers learn to read with comprehension, spell accurately & write compositions?
Building a solid phonetic language arts foundation is more important, at this time, than attempting to acquire more academic skills without this foundation. Learning the 72 Orton Phonograms and the Ayres 1000 high frequency spelling word list with the 29 Spalding spelling rules will accelerate students to higher learning that utilizes the abilities to read with comprehension, spell accurately and write original compositions. The teaching instructions are necessarily written for classes of beginners, whether in Kindergarten or 1st grade. Older students beginning with this method, regardless of their other training in lower grades, need this same teaching method and practice, as do the students just entering school although they proceed at a faster pace. All learners need to begin at the beginning of the program and progress through it using the “Sequence” to insure that they do not have gaps in their basic phonetic knowledge. Much reading aloud, in class or at home is needed to develop
