The review of the literature supported three important trends which the •writer has used as three important criteria for the presented spelling program; 1) phonics, 2) the integration of spelling into a language arts program, 3) the use of a multi-sensory approach to spelling.Conclusion The spelling program, based on the Slingerland Program for Specific Language Disability children, includes phonics, a multi-sensory approach to learning, and the integration of spelling, reading and writing into a language arts program.The writer, who is a Slingerland teacher, has expanded the successful Slingerland Program for use in a regular first grade classroom.For this program to be successful, the user should complete a Slingerland course (see Appendix #1).The presented supplementary spelling program is not a spelling book, but a display of models to help the user •write weekly lessons which can be incorporated into any first grade curriculum.Games and other teaching approaches can be integrated to help reinforce new concepts.Also, this program could be expanded for use in Other elementary grades.This supplementary spelling program to Slingerland has not been tested.
