"The Spalding Method helps train the right and left sides of the brain as children see, hear, read, and write. It is cost-effective and efficient; students use pencils, paper, and their minds.

Spalding students perform well in the classroom and on tests--and, most important, they love to read and write."--P. [4] of cover.
