Spelling/Reading Instruction
*The Reading Lamp
What is this method? The Reading Lamp program is an explicit phonics program, based on the science of reading, that simplifies the English language into 40 phonemes (the sounds we hear), 70 graphemes (the sounds we write), and 15 reliable spelling patterns. The Reading Lamp teaches students word by word while integrating reading, writing, and spelling. The words are taken directly from Scripture in order to give students a jump start into reading the Bible.
There is currently not a curriculum availabe for The Reading Lamp, and it is something that you have to be trained in. A beloved friend and mentor is working to make this more accessible for parents and teachers. If you are interested in curriculum that is similar, All About Reading and All About Spelling are silimar in methodolgy.
