I absolutely love the McCracken books and probably have all of them. I think they have one of the best spelling programs around. Honestly, I couldnt live without Spelling Through Phonics, the little yellow book. * Grade Onederful * In this fascinating and powerful little book, you will find the essence of effective and engaging instruction in spelling and phonics. -- Shane Templeton [ With Spelling Through Phonics,] learning to spell is a sensory experience. Students know they are successful and want to continue spelling long beyond the allotted daily lesson time. -- Dr. R. Anna Sanford

Marlene and Robert McCracken began teaching in 1950. They worked as a writing, speaking and consulting team for over 30 years. They worked with primary teachers throughout the United States, Canada, Germany, and Australia, where they instituted holistic teaching that integrated thinking, concept development, listening, speaking, reading, writing and spelling.
