Recommended Parent Resources (Spalding)

Link to purchase book

Price: $20.80 
The 6th Revised Edition includes:
  • Updated research on all the instructional components (including handwriting) and principles of learning and instruction that make The Spalding Method effective.
  • Part 1 chapter titles and organization aligned to our Grade-Level Teacher Guides.
  • Chapter 2 instructional strategies in outline, rather than narrative, format.
  • Precise dialogue for cursive writing.
  • Sample dialogues for teaching 5 mental actions.
  • Updated Children’s Literature Recommendations
  • OPR and WPR Cue Words
  • A section on Morphology (word structure) in Part 2.


This would be a VERY useful tool to have at home. This same book is used for all Elementary Grades and will guide you through how to best reinforce the skills your child is learning in Spalding. I highly recommend you invest in this tool.
