Spalding Information NIght

Our Phonics Consultant, Margie Clouse, will conduct a workshop to help parents learn The Spalding Method, the phonics program used at Archway Lincoln. This session is aimed primarily at parents who are new to the school.

       Learn specific handwriting instruction and coaching skills for phonograms. Emphasis will be on manuscript writing, pencil and paper positions, and instructions for homework procedures. A cursive model will be available.

       Learn reasons for markings and rules used in The Spalding Method by actively applying analysis to Ayres List of Vocabulary Words.

 

The session will be from 6:00 – 7:30 p.m. in the
