About SpaldingThe Spalding Method is a comprehensive approach to language arts. The mission of the Spalding Method is to develop skilled readers, critical listeners, accomplished speakers, spellers, and writers who are lifelong learners.
Phonograms: “A phonogram is a single letter, or a fixed combination of two, three, or four letters, that is the symbol for one sound in a given word. English has seventy common phonograms (twenty-six letters and forty-four fixed combinations of two, three, and four letters) that represent the forty-five basic sounds used in speaking. The fixed combinations absorb most of the silent letters (e.g., igh says/i/). “Forty-seven phonograms have only one sound, making them easy to learn. Eleven phonograms have two sounds, ten have three sounds, one has four sounds, and one has six sounds. Phonograms are identified by their sound or sounds, whenever practical, and not by their letter names.” Spalding, R. A. (2003). The Writing road to reading.
