Writing program, was DVD Reading Game

[Guest guest]

A friend in Albuquerque, NM found a writing program that really helped her

daughter learn to read, write, and spell. It's based on 33 rules of spelling and

was designed to teach writing as the basis for reading. One of the fundamentals

is understanding the origin of the words which is why our spelling is so

bizarre. It has rules like: i before e except after c and no English word ends

with a. I lost it somewhere over the years. Her daughter couldn't pass first

grade spelling but after a year using this program she could (at age 7) spell

nearly any jr. high school word. I'll see if I can find it on the net.

What specific reading programs have you used or would you recommend that have

research backing?
