All About Reading

We are used level 1 of 4 so far for my 6 year old. She is excited to do our lessons and is already thriving on beginner reading books. I would highly recommend this product to others

We're using AAR level 1 for our kindergartener and so far we enjoy it! My very active 5yo enjoys it as well- I think it's the combination of the actual teaching, along with the visuals of the magnetic tiles and the activities make it fun for him. He also enjoys "playing teacher" and spells out words for me on the magnetic board. No complaints!

I have casually been working with my 4 year old son for about a year with letter recognition and sounds, as well as concepts like rhyming or syllables. We weren't getting anywhere, and though he loved read aloud time, he had no real interest in learning it. After one lesson of this, he could isolate beginning sounds, he started pointing out letters in books, and he asks for more "Ziggy games" all the time! We are only about 2 weeks in, but now he asks about letters and words constantly and as a result already recognizes all his letters and a few words and beginning word sounds. As a new homeschooler with a 2 year old as well, the lack of prep time needed is a lifesaver too!

By FAR my favorite curriculum that I used this year! My rising second grader grew so much as a reader and speller! We are continuing both programs for him and hoping to start my prek son this year! Thank you for this program!

We absolutely LOVE this program. My girls always ask to do another lesson when we get done with one. I love the approach of doing only 20-25 minutes per day, it helps take the stress off of them and off of me if we just have trouble with a concept.

I have used levels 1-3 with a struggling learner (boy). He found the stories engaging and his confidence has greatly increased. I highly recommend this program for the strategies that it gives a student to decode. I have learned so much as well.

I use busywork as a con because I would prefer to sit with a teaching text and my student. Unfortunately, my child is really enjoying the activity sheets, review cards, tiles, and readers. There is minimal preparation and it's not a huge inconvenience when I see the progress that my child is making. He's excited to work on new lessons and is more confident about his review work. I definitely plan to continue with this program and expect to use the spelling curriculum to help my struggling reader.

I have absolutely loved used All About Reading and my children love it as well. It is simple, yet very effective. We split the lessons up so they're short, but to the point.

We started using AAS last year for my new then 5 year old new reader. She showed no interest in reading of writing. By the end of the program, she was loving it. She did get frustrated with the length and repetition of the writing practice. But half way through the year, we got into being creative, and she got back to enjoying the spelling program again.

We used AAS and AAR with my kindergartener last year. He loved the activities and games. We would have flash card races and that really increased his word recognition and speed. We moved from level 1 to level 2 at Christmas time and will start level three this year. I love the readers. The illustrations are sweet without being distracting. When our curriculum arrived this year, my son grabbed the reader out of the box and wanted to take it to his room to read. I think that is the best testament to this program and how it builds confidence and enthusiasm for reading.

My son and I have just started the pre-reading cirriculum and he loves it! It's so fun with the games and crafts, he doesn't even realize he's learning the whole time! I'm looking forward to continuing with him in the program and see him blossom as a reader!

Although more expensive than other basic programs, this is much less frustrating to my struggling reader. All items aren't needed for it (i.e. the zebra puppet). The lessons are interesting and the assignments vary with a nice mixture of activities. I am very pleased with it.

This is a fantastic program.

As a homeschool parent who does not have a teaching background, I love the AAL products. My son likes the variety in each lesson. Thank you for this program!

This is the best curriculum we own!

This is our first year using ABR. So far it has been great. I work with 4 and 5 year olds in my home daycare and they seem to be doing great. I also have a 10 year old daughter who is using ABR and can do a lot by herself.

This was the ONLY reading curriculum that worked for my daughter. We tried several. This is it for us.

I love AAR level 1. The only issue I have is that some of the lessons can be lengthy and may be overwhelming to a first year homeschooling mom. I would say take it in 20 minute chunks.

I use this program with both of my boys. I started it last year when they were in K and 2 and will continue to use it for 1st and 3rd grade. We are currently using AAR level 1 and about 1/2 way done. I have had to learn to tailor the lessons to fit my children's individual needs. We do shorter lessons which takes us longer to get done in the end but worth it. My K now first grader is about right where he needs to be on the reading level. My 2nd now 3rd grader is on the level as my other son but I feel would be further behind if we were not using this product. It is multi-sensory and that appeals t the whole family. I wish I found this program earlier.

My daughter loves All about reading! It's quick lessons that go into detail on phonics and doesn't rely on sight words. With a dyslexic cold, it follows the Orton -Gillingham method, but for a fraction of the price. I will be using the lowest level to teach my youngest to read. Fun for the kids, easy for the adults!
