Wings to Soar Spelling and Handwriting Level A: Multisensory, Integrated Language Arts with Words You Really Use

by Beth Ellen Nash

Students beginning to read, spell, and write are quickly introduced to high frequency words so they are using real words and sentences within a few lessons. By the end of the 160 lessons in Level A, students have learned 230 three letter short vowel words, plus 37 high utility blend and digraph words (this, stop), and 24 sight words to give access to words that make up 39.3% of the words used in written English. A student is ready for Level A when they are showing an interest in reading words, but it would also be appropriate for a student who has started to learn to read but is still sounding out most three letter words and knows few sight words. The program developed out of the author's Orton-Gillingham training, years of experience working with struggling learners, and years of research with many frequency lists to create this integrated, multisensory language arts program with words you can really use.
