Sing, Spell, Read & Write is a learning-to-read curriculum that uses a 36-step program of carefully sequenced systematic, explicit phonics instruction to build fluent independent readers. For more than two decades, veteran educator Sue Dickson developed and field-tested this program in her own classroom. Where other reading programs were failing the students who were struggling the most, Mrs. Dickson saw first-hand the amazing results her students achieved when she combined music with multimodal teaching strategies. Using look, listen, point, sing-along, and echo routines along with gross motor and fine motor activities, the program activitely engages the senses and effectively reaches all types of learners. Virtually every child is assured of success. Today, the program has a proven, nationwide track record and the soundness of such an approach is strongly supported by current research on brain function, language acquisition, and reading.

We really liked this program. My daughter went from being able to recognize her letters to reading independantly in 8 months. Even my 3 year old is singing the songs. My only criticism is that there is a lot of writing. Kind of tough for the ages this program is intended for. I compromised by letting my daughter only write a few of the words for each exercise.
The readers are good too, and my daughter would often choose a reader over a library book when she wanted to read by herself.
The games are a fun addition. We didn’t use them all, but they were great to help her make the jump when she reached a point that was causing her difficulty.
We used the Kindergarten level (and raced through it all in 8 weeks) and then moved onto the 1st Grade level. I’d say that if your child can already recognize their letters and has a basic understanding that words and sentences are made up of letters, then you can probably skip the Kindergarten portion and jump straight into 1st grade. There is repetition of the K stuff at the beginning of the 1st grade course so you won’t miss anything important.
