SWR Basic Classes

CLASS SCHEDULES: In 2008 we have either taught so far or have scheduled 60 basic classes plus 8 advanced seminars in 53 different cities located in a total of 27 different states and 2 foreign countries.

Our final class for the year is scheduled for Texas. New classes for 2009 will be posted as they are finalized This calendar was last updated November 21,2008.

CLASS CONTENTS : This hands-on seminar demonstrates how we use spelling as the foundation for teaching writing and reading. All grades pre-K to 12 benefit. In this two-day seminar you will receive an overview of the program, its methodologies, and historical background. For the greater part of the course the instructor will teach you as if you were the child learning from scratch. This experience with you being the student will help you better understand SWR and give you confidence to teach the program to your children. Learn how to teach English in a logical, consistent way regardless of the student's ability level.

Cathy Duffy who selected SWR for her newly released curriculum guide of the 100 Top Picks reports: "Wanda and other teachers she has trained and endorsed offer seminars across the country and in Canada. I have received many positive reports from those who have attended Wanda's seminars and have used her materials. They tell me that Wanda gives them practical instruction that really works."

One class attendee wrote: "I have learned more in this two-day course than in all my twelve years in school. I feel I have gained more confidence to teach."

TEACHER PREP FOR CLASS: Advanced study of the Spell to Write and Read teacher's manual is highly recommended before attending a training class. It is especially essential to get a working knowledge of the phonograms ahead of time. Read the introduction and the appendix to SWR. Especially look over the Scope and Sequence and practice giving the spelling dictation scripted in Step 12.

SEMINAR COSTS: The price for a two-day basic class is $135 regular/$68 for special guest. Some teachers now provide a three-day basic class. A three day class costs $195 regular/ $98 for special guests. Payment must be made in US funds. We do not receive credit card payment for class registration. Special guests include: additional family members of same immediate family, single parents, missionaries, senior pastors and wives, alumni of an earlier BASIC class taught by an endorsed trainer. Some work scholarship may be available.
