Oh my goodness! If you havenโt 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, Iโll remind them of the rules theyโve 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 youโre looking for more ideas to make spelling more hands-on and fun.

I’m new to homeschooling and have been pouring over what program to go with this fall. After your review, I finally feel confident this is the one for us. Thank you for helping me be clear! Being on a “cozy” budget, it would be a pleasant relief to be one of the winners in this giveaway. In any case, thanks for a fantastic site and bringing my search to an end! ๐

I just subscribed by email. Would love to try this with my four kiddos. Sounds like a neat program. I’ve been reading your blog for a little bit now and have really enjoyed your ideas. Thank you for sharing.
Would love to win this because I want to make sure my kiddos have a strong foundation for learning. This program sounds so neat (based on your reviews) that it just makes me want to try it! I have four kiddos ages 6,5,3,and 8 mo. We are all about phonics right now!!
I have heard great things about this curriculum and would love to give it a try!
Hello,
First I want to thank you for your blog! It has been a real blessing to me and my children (the whole workbox idea is completely awesome and is helping me everyday). I have been sticking to Abeka spelling and I would love to check out that All about spelling program. Thank you again for everything you do. I will be purchasing your geography USA when we get back from our vacation!
LOVE your website and would LOVE to use this spelling program!! ๐
I have heard nothing but good things about AAS, and I would love to have it for my son! I think it would give him a wonderful foundation.
