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.

  1. I’m getting ready to start PRE-K with my daugther but she’s is much more advance for what I can see. We already started with Phonics therefore this kit will be very helpful to continue our road to reading.

  2. Thank you for sharing your review of this. I am so excited to get in on the giveaway!
    This program would be a perfect fit for our new-to-homeschooling family, for so many reasons! Here are a few:

    I have a TRUE “wiggly willy” who performs best with kinesthetic / tactile activities. I just know my super smart Kindergartener would love it!

    I am seeking to invest in great programs that can be used this year and used again next year with my youngest son.

    We are a military family, so while homeschooling is ideal for our mobile lifestyle and for reinforcing our family values, it can present challenges financially as we build a quality resource library that will provide a strong foundation for years to come. It is not always easy for us to get to places to see and touch resouces before deciding on them

    I live by the motto, “…if it is free it is for me…” If I can’t use it, I will pass it on to bless someone else.
    Selecting materials can be overwhelming. I am excited to have a chance to try one that comes so highly recommended for FREE!

    The box is blue, my son’s favorite color, and, there is a bee as well…my favorite bug! That has to be a sign it was a program meant for us!

  3. I bought All About Spelling Level1 for my daughter and we just started it two weeks ago. She loves it and I must say I really love that she loves it 🙂 I did not buy an interactive kit and would love to win it so we can supplement.

  4. I would love to win All about Spelling. This is our first year of homeschooling and look forward to the adventure ahead. This program has always intrigued me. I can see how beneficial this program is to students learning to read and spell. Thanks for the chance to win.
