Bailey,
Many families prefer going all the way through All About Reading to really give their kids complete instruction.

At the end of Level 4, students have the phonics and word attack skills necessary to sound out high school level words, though they may not know the meaning of all higher level words yet. Word attack skills include things like dividing words into syllables, making analogies to other words, sounding out the word with the accent on different word parts, recognizing affixes, etc.

Here are some posts with lots of comments from parents on our Facebook Support Group about whether to keep going with AAR or to drop it when kids take off with reading:
Does everyone do AAR 4?
Anyone just forego more reading lessons and focus on spelling?
My child is a natural reader, yet I’m still so happy we did all of AAR!

(You have to join the Facebook Support Group in order to read the comments though.)

If you’re curious, here’s a short overview of AAR 4:

– the remaining basic phonograms plus advanced phonograms
– silent letters in words such as daughter, beige, special, gnat, consignment, comb
– words with multiple suffixes such as thankfully and usefulness
– words with a variety of suffixes including -ible, -able, -ance, -ence, -sion, -ic, -al, -ous, -ist, -ism, -ity, -ize, -ary, and -ery,
– students will gain speed and accuracy in recognizing common syllables
– words with split vowels such as theater and triumph
– consonant-le exceptions
– words containing influences from Greek, French, Spanish, and Italian
– homonyms, heteronyms, synonyms, antonyms, onomatopoeia, alliteration, idioms, collective nouns, italics, dialects, personification, acronyms, and hyperbole
