About this title

Synopsis

Encourages children's creativity and teaches them to read and write at the upper levels of their abilities

Reviews

This work explains the details of Martin's IBM computer-based program, "Writing To Read," which incorporates a phonemic spelling system and "the alphabetic principle of writing words the way the sound" and is predicated on the fact that writing comes before reading. The first ten chapters are geared for educators and deal with the research and rationale behind the program, descriptions of the various components of the program, and a multitude of case histories. In addition, the thorough field testing of the program is described. Chapters 11 to 14 are aimed at the parent. They provide information on using portions of the program at home (without a computer) and evaluating a child's progress. The section for parents is the most useful. Overall, a valuable book on one philosophy of teaching children to read. Joanne Troutner, Media Specialist, Klondike Middle Sch . , W . Lafayette, Ind.
