In a practical, hands-on way, your student will learn:
When to use ch or tch for the sound of /ch/
When to use the three ways to spell the sound of /j/
How to add prefixes
Additional ways to spell the sound of /er/
Spelling strategies that will help him tackle longer words with ease
and much more!
You’ll appreciate the organization, thought and research that went into this program as you work with your student on:
Word Sort activities that help your student practice the multiple ways of spelling one sound
The Spelling Review Box that helps you organize the flashcards so you can quickly see which words, phonograms, and spelling rules your student still needs to learn and review. (Flashcards and dividers are included; you supply the 3x5” index card box.)
Concept-oriented spelling lists that are grouped by similar phonograms and spelling rules. This accelerates learning by organizing ideas in the student’s mind and allowing the student to concentrate on and master one or two main concepts before moving on.
Word Banks that help your student build visual memory of words
The Writing Station activity that gives your student a creative outlet for applying new knowledge. This activity provides the practice and structure he needs to achieve the goal of correct spelling outside the classroom.
Tips for the teacher that anticipate and provide answers to your questions and give you on-the-spot strategies for helping your student overcome stumbling blocks. Worked seamlessly into the lessons, tips are placed right where you need them, when you need them, so you can continue your teaching uninterrupted.
The Homophone Pairs activity that provides more practice for the student to recognize and choose the correct homophone in his own writing.
Prefix Tiles that are a different size and color than the letter tiles so your student can learn the rules for adding prefixes without confusion and easily recognize and choose the correct prefix when building new words.
The Progress Chart gives your student a visual reminder of how far he has come and motivates him to master the next step.
The 27 steps of Level Four progress in a logical, sequential order.
Here's what others have said about All About Spelling
My daughter is successful!
"We have tried a few other spelling programs, and this is the first on that has worked! My daughter is successful at spelling for the first time. The multisensory approach and built-in review make it enjoyable and easy for both of us!"
-Mary Mires
Every teacher should teach spelling with this system
"Every teacher should teach spelling with this system. I am convinced that if this were done, we would see a decrease in LD identifications. Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
Kristin Drach
Former school administrator
Just what I needed!
"These clear, concise lesson plans are just what I needed--and the steps targeting different learning modalities are just what my children needed. I am using the program with my twelve- and seven-year-old sons and my nine-year-old daughter. For the first time in our six-year journey, I am not overwhelmed at the thought of teaching spelling."
-Rita Henley
Homeschooling parent
Having a blast!
“We are still having a blast with All About Spelling! I continue to marvel at how well you have laid this out.”
A quick note to thank you for sending the Level Four materials so quickly. When hubby, John, and I visit the States we always make a beeline for Barnes and Noble, Borders, and local educational stores to stock up on homeschool materials--but not spelling as we already own the very best program there is. Thanks again to you and your team.
