Calendar for SWR Teacher Training Classes


CLASS SCHEDULES: Official SWR seminars have been taught in five foreign countries and all but 3 states: ME, VT, WY. A few are taught in the winter, spring and fall, but most seminars are in the summer.

Classes for 2022 will be posted as they are set. We offer in-person training classes as well as Zoom classes. Your expressed interest can help bring a class to your area or prompt another Zoom seminar.

Currently we had a live classes in June in GA and Missouri as well as a Zoom classes in July and Aug.. Watch for more options. This calendar was last updated on July 6, 2022.

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 a regular 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 as the student will help you better understand SWR and give you confidence to teach the program to others. Learn how to teach English in a logical, consistent way regardless of the student's ability level. One class attendee wrote: "I have learned more in this two-day course than in all my years in school. I feel I have gained more confidence to teach."

TEACHER PREP FOR CLASS: Advanced study of Spell to Write and Read is highly recommended. Get a working knowledge of the phonograms. Read the introduction to SWR. Look over the Scope and Sequence and practice spelling dictation as scripted in Step 12.

SEMINAR COSTS: The price for a full two-day Basic Seminar is $150 regular/$75 for special guest. Three-day Basic Seminars are becoming popular. A full three-day class (either basic or advanced) costs $225 regular/ $112 for special guests. Some teachers also offer a shorter class called a Practicum. The special guest discount does not apply to a Practicum. Consult with the trainer for the focus of any particular Practicum and for the specific cost. Payment must be made in US funds.
