Oh my goodness! If you haven’t tried All About Spelling yet you are soooo missing out! We started using this product last year and absolutely love love love it!
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.

Entry #1-I would love to win this giveaway as I think the multisensory approach of AAS would be perfect for my son. I found out how amazing this product was AFTER I had already purchased another curriculum. In order to not waste money, we’re using the other one for the year, but I would love to chuck it and use this one.
Entry #2-I am not subscribed to your blog 🙂
I would love to win this for my 4 yo daughter bc she is very interested in learning how to read right now. It would be a wonderful blessing to our family 🙂

I just started homeschooling my 6 yr old boy. I think this would be a great program for him to learn spelling! The program is for visual and hands on learners which is what I need for him to make it fun!
This is our first year homeschooling and this would be perfect for my kindergartner. Love this, thanks for hosting the giveaway.

I would so love to win this. I have a daughter who is dyslexic and I have done alot of research and feel like this would benefit her. Thanks for your review of it also.
