All About Spelling

What people like-

  • Uses the same concepts and rules as All About Reading.
  • Teaches phonograms (letter combinations which form a base for several words).
  • Children learn at their own pace, one concept at a time.
  • Children learn in multi-sensory ways (letter tiles, flashcards, etc.)
  • Works for all learning styles.

 

What people don’t like-

  • There are a lot of components. Each level requires a student packet, teacher manual, and the interactive kit.
  • There is a lot of memorization.
  • There is a lot of set up in the beginning.
  • Parents need to be involved.

 

User tips-

  • Use the free app for phonogram sounds instead of purchasing the phonogram cd.
  • There is a satisfaction guarantee (See website for details).
