All About Spelling

This is the first curriculum that I have found that works for my special needs kids. They are finally getting it! They even ask to do AAS every day!!

We love All About Spelling and how daily review is built into each day's lesson for the student. We find that so valuable. We also like the hands on, multi-sensory approach and the easy to follow lessons for the teacher, with script already included. Memorizing the rules with the system AAS uses makes it easy to recall when needing to spell or proofread in daily writing.

This product was fabulous last year for my 5th grader. He is very behind in spelling. We used level 4, and started on level 5 this summer. His spelling has improved by leaps and bounds! We will stay with AAS til the end!!!

I have used 3 levels of AAS and part of level 4, and although it is teacher intensive, I haven't found anything else that compares as far as explicitly and thoroughly teaching the spelling rules. It's very adaptable, although figuring out exactly how to use it so that it works for your child may take some trial and error. After 3 levels of AAS, I switched my natural speller to something more independent, but when I tried to switch my younger son to something else, we were back to AAS in a couple of months because he wasn't retaining anything from the other program. Even though it's very teacher intensive, I strongly recommend it.

I love this program. It teaches the rules behind spelling...and isn't just a list of words to memorize.

My boys' spelling has improved drastically through three levels of AAS and we will be using Level 4 this year. Along with the improvement in spelling comes a greater command of the English language as well as greater confidence in writing. Great, effective program. I have learned a lot teaching the program, too! There are far fewer exceptions in spelling than I was taught in school!

My 6 year old daughter gets extremely frustrated when she cannot spell a word. Using all about spelling is helping her understand the rules of spelling, and she is beginning to understand how a word is put together. We are only on level 1, but will be continuing through all the levels of this amazing proram

My girls love this spelling program, so much better than the lists I remember as a kid. My oldest often asks to do more than one lesson at a time. I love how easy it is to adapt to each of my girls and the 20 minute recommended timeframe helps take the stress off of them and me if we are having a bad day or they just don't want to do it it that day. Highly recommend this!

We are trying this to help my son who struggles with phonetic spelling. It is difficult for me to keep the little magnetic letter tiles in an organized fashion for him, yet out of reach of younger siblings. I believe the board recommended is a magnetic white board 2' by 3'. There are also a bunch of colored flashcards to keep in a file box and use each day. It is a very thorough program as far as content goes. We found it a bit hard to get through in only 15-20 min. per day. I think it will help, but it takes commitment and you do seem to need to go through all the levels. I think it's a bit pricey to go all the way through.

We are currently in level 6. It has made all the difference for my struggling speller. He does not seem to care about the letter tiles, but we use them during the introduction of each lesson/step. He chooses to write the words from then on; however, when he is stumped on a word, he goes back to the tiles, and we talk out the rules that apply.

It is hard to complete a full step in 20 minutes. I keep a bookmark on the page I left off on. Some steps take over a week to complete as my student struggles with a new rule; other weeks, we get through 3 lessons/steps. It's hard to predict.

The program is pricey if you have only one student, but it is a solid program. It is worth every cent if you have a struggling student.

I love AAS. It teaches spelling in such a clear, methodical, ease to understand way. My 1st grader is in level 2 now and doing great while my struggling 4th grader is using level 3 at a fairly quick pace. It seems to be helping him with areas in which he was struggling before. I love that the review is built in so I don't forget anything. I also really like the word analysis they introduce in level 3. I would highly recommend this product.

All About Spelling has been a phenomenal curriculum for us. My 7 year old is turning into quite the spelling master. This program has helped tremendously with phonetic awareness and teaching the exceptions to rules. The English language is tough! It can be confusing to know which way to spell a certain word, but this curriculum covers every aspect of that. I will continue using this for all of my kids.

This program took my non reading 5 year old, and by the end of the year, her interest in reading was so great, she was on her own picking up chapter books and reading away! Love the program, and will continue to use for the rest of the curriculum!

I am using this with 2 students, one of whom is older and dyslexic. I like it for both. We can go at our own pace. For more evenly matched students it would be easy to do them together, but I work with each one separately. We simply work for 20 minutes (by a timer) and stop where we are. I always do the reviews even if we have stopped in the middle of a Step. Some are done in 20 minutes, some take 2-3 days. It is so customizable, and I love that. It is also so affordable compared to the other program I was considering for my dyslexic child. I plan to use it all the way through the levels. Wish I'd had it from the beginning!

My daughter is dyslexic and struggled with spelling. This program has been highly beneficial.

This has been a wonderful resource for my dyslexic child. We began using this program late in his second grade school year, and we are very encourages by his progress. We have completed half of level 1 so far.

My daughter is reluctant to write, but will always write the words/phrases for the week without arguing. She likes being able to mark off each completed lesson. Lessons are short and they it's easy to pick and choose how much is enough for each child. I highly recommend All About Spelling!

We started using All About Spelling last school year for my 3rd grader. We started at level 1 and I was amazed at how much he is learning. My son has a learning disability that makes reading & spelling difficult. AAS has been wonderful. He feels so accomplished because he is actually learning how to spell instead of memorizing words for the test like he did in public school. We will continue to use AAS & AAR until we complete the curriculum.

Another great product by all about learning press. A great tool to go along with All about Reading, or to be used on its own. Helping my dyslexic daughter learn the rules of spelling so she is improving.

Great for hands on learners
