Perfect for parents with struggling learners, entrepreneurial young adults, and those seeking to advance their educational acumen for in-person or online teaching.
This is a phonics-based spelling program that has met with great historic and scientific success. Students learn to think in sounds rather than just by letter names. This program teaches decoding skills and a whole new way of thinking.
This program equips the educator to work with students of all ages: individuals, classes, multiple ages, special needs, learning disabilities, as well as gifted, and students seeking to learn English as a second language
This class will meet for 12 weeks (2 hours for each meeting) and follows a logical procession; from known to unknown. Concepts are reinforced in multi-sensory simultaneous ways, including visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and tactile.
- This method of teaching how to read and spell is:
- Efficient – scientific, reasoned, broad-based
- Economical – uncluttered, saves time and money
- Effective – usually, good spellers become good readers. The Reverse is often NOT true.
Students are given the opportunity to Join Answers to Literacy Team of Certified Teachers:
- 12 weeks (24 hours) training
- Curriculum and supplies included
- Certificate of Achievement
- “No Teacher Left Behind” support guarantee
- Classes are taught online via zoom, so students can join from the privacy of their own homes. Classes are recorded so students can re-review concepts.
Lisa Nehring –
Carrie’s Spell to Write and Read class was amazing. Not only did I recieve certification in an Orton / Spalding instruction program, I was better equipped to help my own child with special needs. I learned so much about phonics, origins of words, and spelling that I didn’t learn in my own education. This class was very challenging however I truly feel much more equipped to successfully teach writing and spelling to children of all abilities and levels. Carrie teaches in a way that gives you a ton of resources, practice, and easily answers the question of “why” because I promise- you don’t know what you don’t know!
