The Roadmap to Literacy Books
The Roadmap to Literacy Books are textbooks for Waldorf teachers and homeschool parents. They show you how to guide your students to academic excellence using the best of Rudolf Steiner's indications and modern research to renew the teaching of language arts and the entire subject curriculum. These books help you create and deliver a structured, academically challenging, and enriching language arts curriculum, one that aligns with child development, the spirit of Waldorf education, and the spirit of the English language.
The goal of The Roadmap to Literacy Books is to renew education, starting with a renewal of literacy. The Roadmap to Literacy (grades 1-3) shows how to teach students to read. Continuing the Journey to Literacy (grades 4-8) shows how to teach language arts once students are ready to read to learn. It includes the entire Waldorf main lesson curriculum.
Take your students on a journey to excellence--one that will equip them for a lifetime of success.

CAN YOU SEPARATE THE ROADMAP FROM THE ROADCRAP?
Take this quiz to find out!
I wrote a new edition of The Roadmap to Literacy because there is a lot of misinformation about how to use The Roadmap to Literacy. In this quiz I colorfully refer to this misinformation as "roadcrap" because it clutters the road and makes it harder for teachers to get up to 95% of students reading and spelling at grade level.
Take this quiz to see if you can separate the Roadmap from the roadcrap.
If you struggled to do so, purchase the Renewal of Literacy® Edition. Let's work together to get Waldorf students reading and spelling at grade level!
