I understand
After over 14,000 hours of research and writing (spanning over five years), Jennifer and Janet are so grateful that their book, The Roadmap to Literacy, is finding its way into the hands of hundreds of teachers here in the U.S. and numerous foreign countries. They are even more excited to hear back from those teachers about their experience with the book. Below are some excerpts they wished to share:
“I have taken two classes through eighth grade and I have to say this book has rocked my world. My second graders are progressing so well. They love kid writing and cheer when we have reading groups!"
- Lori Ann Kran, PhD, Cincinnati Waldorf School
I have spent almost every night crawled up in bed with your book... To me, it reads like a bestseller. Your book is a game changer. I am so deeply grateful for your admonition that we have a responsibility to teach skills. Again, thank you so much for this valuable contribution to our work as educators.”
- Felicity Far, Educational Support Coordinator Lake Champlain Waldorf School
What a fantastic tome of needed common sense, excellent research and application, and above all, inspiration! Thank you for the years of focus to pull it all together for us. My daughter, a new teacher, received her copy and if she is not sleeping with it under her pillow, it is at least, close by. What a resource!
- Anna Rainville, author of Singing Games, mentor and trainer of Waldorf Teachers
You have put together a truly amazing resource. I’ve never seen any Waldorf related book this comprehensive and practical. It is truly a gift that you’ve created. This book isn’t just a roadmap, but a comprehensive resource that guides teachers in such a way that they are freed up to teach with greater inspiration and creativity because they aren’t bogged down with gathering basic information.
- Anais Alexander, Teacher Corvalis Waldorf School
I just started your book today and I cannot put it down! Two colleagues and I have been pondering this exact topic... when lo and behold, I stumble upon your website and your book. This is exactly what our language curriculum has needed for a long time.
- Natasha Zimmerman, class teacher Whidbey Island Waldorf School
Every Waldorf teacher needs this book. I appreciate all the thorough background info you provide on the stages of literacy development as a recapitulation of English development throughout history and how it connects with Steiner's indications. Really, really good stuff! As a literacy specialist, I also appreciate the "Sacred Nothings" section… I like how you articulate why some of these practices are not serving children. Thank you for the blood, sweat, and tears that went into this. It was no small feat! Thousands and thousands of teachers and children are going to benefit from this book.
- Rebecca Hipps, Waldorf literacy specialist and Founder of Story Seedlings
A break-through….an essential resource for every Waldorf teacher who wants to ensure that good reading takes place in his or her class!
- Bonnie River, M.Ed., Co-founder Gradalis Teacher Training Program
An incredible compilation of Waldorf and public-school methods that can be used both by private Waldorf teachers and public-school teachers.
- Bethany Chaffin, M.Ed., Administrator, San Diego County Teacher of the Year, 2014
This book will be a bible for early grades teachers! Educators will have everything they need to teach early literacy in one easy-to-use reference.
- Heather Handy, M.Ed., Class Teacher and School Mentor
The Roadmap to Literacy is an invaluable guide for all Waldorf teachers. It clearly outlines a comprehensive approach to the unique challenges of teaching reading in English.
- Carla Beebe Comey, M.Ed., Waldorf Teacher Education Program, Antioch University New England
The following are some of the comments from a group of 1st and 2nd grade homeschooling parents on Facebook:
I have owned nearly every Waldorf Homeschool curriculum on the market, and most of the Waldorf teacher resources as well… none of them provide the depth and breadth of language arts instruction for grades 1–3 as The Roadmap to Literacy. The specificity, I think, is something that has been sorely needed—you clearly lay out both the skill progression as well as the “how-to”. Finally, a complete LA resource!
- Amanda, homeschool parent
I can say Roadmap has been such an amazing help for me. I feel like I know what I'm doing teaching reading and writing to my 1st grader...
[The Roadmap to Literacy] has been invaluable in helping me help my 6th grader with her spelling and writing. We’ve been doing phonics lessons together with her 3rd grade sister and both girls have improved tremendously!
The Roadmap to Literacy is invaluable!!!!
I am going to highly, highly recommend it [The Roadmap to Literacy] to everyone, but especially those starting with first. I have just finished the section on introducing letters and I could have avoided MANY of the issues my older son has with letters, sounding out words, writing, etc, if I would have known these suggestions… I can't say enough about this resource.
It makes so much sense on how to teach reading!
The Roadmap to Literacy has really filled in the blanks for me on what I should be teaching and in what order.
