This is a very thorough spelling program. I saw a lot of improvement with my sons spelling while using this program. I would highly recommend this program for a struggling speller.

We love All About Spelling. It's easy to use and the lessons are short. My kids enjoy using the letter tiles.

We love this program! It is definitely not one of the independent study spelling programs, but I am enjoying learning the rules along with my daughter.

We liked this, but it was too much to do for every lesson. One of my children is NOT interested in manipulatives so this wasn't a good fit. The other is good with them, but the lessons simply took too much time.

We have had much success with all about spelling. My kids were struggling with spelling and this program made a world of difference for them and for my frustration level. We will be continuing it for next year.

Love this curriculum! I've used several others, but this is the only curriculum in which I have had a fifth grader asked to use it and start from the beginning when watching a younger sibling use it. This curriculum flows well into Phonetic Zoo for older students.

Mine has some special needs so what is not working with her really has nothing to do with the program, just her style. Even with that she has learned so much and I think we will continue to use it, we just move a bit slower :)

I taught my first child to read with a simple primer and while it worked, it wasn't exactly pleasant. I used All About Spelling (we've completed all but 10 lessons in level 4) to teach my 2nd child how to read. I can't imagine teaching phonics any other way. The program is so fun and engaging and teaches phonic very well. It has made me a better reading teacher. My daughter loves the program and is a fantastic reader. By the end of level 3 she was able to read Ramona books all by herself. It also teaches literary elements, a little about poetry, and more. I can't recommend it enough.

I love the All About Spelling program. Have gone from level one almost finished with level 4 now. My favorite part is the way it teaches the reasons why things are spelled the way they are and rules to help you remember those ways. My only difficulty with the program is that I have toddlers as well and a bunch of little magnet letters on a big white board are just so hard for little fingers to resist!

Was extremely time consuming. Stopped using the magnetic letters and all and went to writing on dry erase board. Neither my son nor I liked this, didn't fit our learning styles.

I bought AAS level 1 for my dyslexic son and it worked wonders for him. He did have a hard time with all the writing, so we had to adjust lessons for him. I did really like the explanations for the spelling rules.

A great way to teach phonics without all the workbooks. I love that it is not grade oriented, but a move at your own pace curriculum.
