The Seminar:
This is a two-day, sixteen hour teacher-training, providing you with the tools and knowledge to implement the SWR/Spalding
method with confidence and success, whether your students are beginning, elementary, or remedial. We will teach you to use
phonics to teach spelling, writing and reading, place each child at their correct level by diagnostic tests, and adapt this
method to the student's abilites. There will be hands-on work time, so you can learn how to teach each student as you build
your Spelling Notebook. This class includes instruction based on the new Spell to Write and Read and the Wise Guide!
 This intensive phonics course completely integrates penmanship and spelling, writing, reading with grammar and compositon
in the early grades, and is a complete spelling course for grades K-college level.
This two-day training will give you the tools needed to successfully implement the entire course. This time-tested method
is excellent for beginning readers, for an elementary spelling program, or remedial students behind in reading or spelling.
Handouts Provided: Each participant will receive a blank learning log (primary for the basic and black for the advanced),
a regular and a red pencil, and class handouts.
You may buy the books from me when you register for this class, or buy them without the class. Just use the registration form
for your order.

Accolades about this seminar * * * Links pertinent to SWR
"Mary makes Spalding (SWR) so practical and simple! I can't imagine using any other system to teach my children."
- Colorado mother
"My daughter was hardly reading at eleven years of age. When I started TRH/SWR, she tested at 1.1 (first grade, first
month), and within four months, she was 4.4! Mary's seminar really helped me have the confidence to teach her." - Homeschool
mom from California
Other Endorsements of Mary Tanksley's seminars
"I loved your website. Especially helpful was the information about "The comparison between phoney phonics, fickle
phonics, and pokey phonics with true phonics." I sure wish I could have had that 5 years ago when I had to defend the
system I was using so successfully to our Master Teacher who insisted it did not work since she had tried it and had little
success." - satisfied SWR user
