Why do I need this?

Why do I need this?

Placement for Level 1
All About Spelling Level 1 is a building block program: each level builds upon the previous one. In order to build a strong foundation, most students start with Level 1.
If your student is a beginning reader, we recommend completing All About Reading Level 1 or the equivalent first, and then adding in the All About Spelling program, beginning with Level 1. This gives students a solid start in reading and a strong basis for successful spelling. Take our placement test to determine if your student is able to skip Level 1.

Have Questions about Level 1?
Level 1 has 25 lessons. Please know that the lessons in All About Spelling are not meant to be completed in one day.
In fact, some lessons may take a week or more to finish. A number of variables contribute to how quickly a lesson can be completed, including your student's age, attention span, prior experience, and the difficulty of the concept being taught.
If you are teaching more than one student at a time, you will need to order one additional Student Packet and one additional Spelling Review Box for each additional student. The Level 1 Materials contain enough for teaching one student.
If you will be reusing your Level 1 Materials for future students, you can reuse the flashcards and simply purchase another activity book.
Yes! You can download them here:
We have both regular and wide-ruled sheets that correspond perfectly to the Color Edition. You can download them here:
Our Letter Tiles are designed to be used for both All About Reading and All About Spelling and include all letter tiles needed for every level of both programs. You will only need one kit per household. If you purchased your Letter Tiles before April 2023, see additional information in the "Previous Editions" FAQ section below.
Yes! Use this link to add a complementary set of tokens to your order.
Yes. Each box comes with divider cards, and these are different for reading and spelling. Also, you will want a separate Spelling Review Box to store and organize the flashcards that come in your All About Spelling Student Packet. If you are teaching multiple students, we recommend purchasing separate review boxes for each child.
Yes, we are! We'll announce additional levels on our social media pages and our newsletter as we get closer to the release dates.
Previous Editions
The older kit did not include specialty tiles (Syllable Tags, prefixes, and suffixes). However, there have been multiple improvements to our new Letter Tiles kit, including:
- Every tile needed for all levels of All About Reading and All About Spelling, including prefixes, suffixes, Greek word parts, and Latin word parts
- Tokens to use with All About Spelling Level 1
- Updated Syllable Tags that will be used for both programs
- Two zip storage bags for easy organization
No. The First Edition materials are not compatible with the Color Edition materials. Since so much new content was added to the Color Edition, it would be very difficult to use part of the newer version in conjunction with the First Edition. However, you can reuse the Letter Tiles.
The lessons were slightly reworked and expanded; however, the biggest difference is that the new materials are in full color and now include an activity book. The Color Edition Teacher’s Manual has more than doubled in size and provides much more support for the teacher and student! It now includes an expanded introduction section, Before You Begin sections for each lesson, Advanced Application sections for older students, and extensive appendices for additional spelling reference for the teacher (including a list of spelling rules taught in this level). It also comes with a student activity book, including spelling rules posters, greatly expanded word banks, and activity sheets for each lesson.
Unfortunately, First Edition Materials are no longer available.
We've made purchasing even easier! Due to customer feedback, we have phased out our Interactive Kits. Instead, the Letter Tiles now include all tiles and magnets needed for all levels of All About Reading and All About Spelling and are purchased separately as a one-time purchase. The divider cards are also now included with the review boxes.
