I personally think they should have named it All About Phonics because it really is a phonics, spelling and reading program in my opinion. I wrote a review of it awhile back you can read my All About Spelling Review here.

I was previously using a different spelling program and my daughter was getting 100% on all her tests. I thought she was doing great until I realized that she was actually just memorizing her list for the week, but then later when asked to recall a word she should have learned it was long gone.

With All About Spelling, kids learn why words are spelled as they are. They drill the phonics rules until they are mastered and that is what has made the difference for us. I noticed a marked improvement in both the reading and writing skills of my children after starting this program. Now when they go to spell or sound out a word, I’ll remind them of the rules they’ve learned and they are able to figure it out on their own.

The lesson plans are well laid out and actually scripted for you if you like that. They also include hands on activities to make it a little more fun. I have a few Spelling Practice Ideas on my blog as well if you’re looking for more ideas to make spelling more hands-on and fun.

  2. So it is year two of homeschooling for me and my three little ones. I’ve tried three (yes, THREE) phonics programs (two were very expensive…), and, after 2 yrs, my oldest is still just barely reading. Granted “try” means only 1/2 of a year each in two programs, and I just started the third as a part of a whole curriculum. While I love the curriculum we are using, I’m not very impressed or hopeful that the reading portion is any better or different from what we’ve tried. I get that it has to “click” for them, but this AAS program looks amazing and I want to ditch everything and start over with this after reading your testimony over the last year. Unfortunately I’m not allowed to spend ANY money on [yet another] reading program. 😀

    This contest would be PEEEEERFECT for me! Oh, please please please pick me. PLEASE.

  5. I have two young children that are quickly moving past all of the knowledge I feel I am qualified to provide. I would like to at least fool them into thinking I know what I am doing!! 🙂 This would be great for that next step.

  9. I would love to try this! I’m new to homeschooling and I’m beginning to gather my teaching tools. I’ve already purchased some All About Reading resources and this would be a great addition.
