Physical Letter Tiles or Letter Tiles App
The Spelling Interactive Kit contains everything you need, including the physical letter tiles, but there are two additional items to consider. If you plan to teach mainly with the physical letter tiles, you'll need to purchase a 2' x 3' magnetic white board from a store such as Walmart or Staples. For an easy-to-use, portable alternative, our Letter Tiles App is available as a separate purchase.

If you have not used the program before, please use our Spelling Placement Test to determine the best level for your child.

FAQs
How many lessons are in Level 2?
Level 2 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: your student’s age, attention span, prior experience, and the difficulty of the concept being taught.
