Writing to Reading the Steiner Waldorf Way Foundations of Creative Literacy in Classes 1 and 2 by Abi Allanson and Nicky Teensma

This is both a theoretical and practical book giving a complete  pathway to teaching children how to write and read in Classes 1 and 2  (equivalent UK Years 2 and 3.) This book provides teachers with  appealing, easy-to-use plans, and practical activities for immediate  use. It also sets out fundamental principles of Steiner Waldorf  pedagogy. It shows how this dovetails with the best of both mainstream  primary approaches and specialist dyslexia-friendly methods. Teachers  can use these principles to become confident in creating their own  activities and resources.  The book showcases the holistic, creative  aspects of the Steiner Waldorf literacy approach. The teaching of  writing before reading is prioritized so as to engage children’s  creativity in learning. Developing the child’s own voice through writing  and storytelling, to lead over into reading, is highly effective for  motivation and success.
