Can you relate to Simple Samantha? Or are you more of a Weekly Wendy or Detailed Dorothy? Read on...and then leave us a comment and let us know what <span class=\"italic\">your <\/span> style is!<\/p>\r\n\r\n<ol class=\"large aalp-blue\">\r\n\r\n<li><h3>Do You Love to Just \"Open and Go\"?<\/h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Simple Samantha believes the entire point of an open-and-go program is, well, just that...opening and going. And she's pretty open about it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<blockquote><p>Um...what? Organize? I just open my Teacher's Manual and start teaching. If there's an activity, I cut it out while my kid reads to me. Or better yet, I have her cut it!\"<\/p><\/blockquote>\r\n\r\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/simple-samantha-600.jpg\" alt=\"girl cutting all about reading activity sheet\" width=\"600\" class=\"center\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Samantha knows that <cite>All About Reading<\/cite> is <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/easy-to-teach\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">easy to teach<\/a> right out of the box. All you have to do is take a minute or two to preview the lesson and gather the necessary activity pages, <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/phonograms\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">flashcards<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/using-letter-tiles\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">letter tiles<\/a>. Then simply follow the script to teach like a pro! Gently scripted lesson plans ensure that you\u2019ll know exactly how to teach every single lesson with no advanced preparation needed. Yep, you heard that right...<span class=\"italic\">none<\/span>. Zilch. Zero.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you prefer to keep things simple like Samantha, you're in good company. This is the way <cite>All About Reading<\/cite> was actually <span class=\"italic\">designed<\/span> to be used. We\u2019ve done all the research and prep work so you can devote your time to teaching your child.<\/p><\/li>\r\n\r\n<li><h3>Are You a \"Plan Ahead\" Kind of Person?<\/h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Although Weekly Wendy knows she doesn't <span class=\"italic\">have<\/span> to do major prep, she likes to take it up a notch. She prefers to prep things ahead, but in bite-size chunks, a week at a time.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<blockquote><p>I prep my lessons a week in advance. I look through the teacher's manual to see what I'll need for the week, then I cut out the activities and zip-bag it all. You can never be too prepared.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\r\n\r\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/weekly-wendy-600.jpg\" alt=\"organizing all about reading activities in zip bags\" width=\"600\" class=\"center\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you're like Wendy, you like to be prepared, but you don't want to spend all summer doing it! A little bit of planning ahead helps you feel prepared and ready to face the week. And that's definitely not a bad thing!<\/p><\/li>\r\n\r\n<li><h3>Are You Happiest When You're Organizing \"All the Things\"?<\/h3>\r\n\r\n<p>Detailed Dorothy loves to get it <span class=\"italic\">all<\/span> done ahead of time...<span class=\"italic bold\">way<\/span> ahead of time. Her favorite part of teaching is preparing and <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/real-moms-organizing-aar\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">organizing her curriculum<\/a> months in advance. It\u2019s incredibly fun and supremely satisfying to know that everything is ready to go when she needs it. And when she's all done prepping, she lets out a big sigh of satisfaction...<\/p>\r\n\r\n<blockquote><p>Ahhh...all ready for lesson one!\"<\/p><\/blockquote>\r\n\r\n<p>As part of her detailed preparations, Dorothy laminates everything\u2014activity pages, <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/practice-sheets\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">fluency practice sheets<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/phonograms\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">flashcards<\/a>\u2014and organizes it all in a great big binder. (Dorothy's laminator is <span class=\"italic\">by far<\/span> her favorite <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/organizational-tools-i-couldnt-homeschool-without\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">homeschool organizational item<\/a>!)<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/detailed-dorothy-600.jpg\" alt=\"woman laminating and organizing all about reading flash cards\" width=\"600\" class=\"center\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>By the way, Dorothy is teaching <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/teaching-multiple-kids\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">multiple kids<\/a> and just loves knowing that everything is prepped and organized in a way that makes it easy to juggle all the levels and lessons every day, all year long. And we <span class=\"italic\">totally<\/span> get that!<\/p><\/li><\/ol>\r\n\r\n<h2>What's the <span class=\"italic\">Right<\/span> Way to Organize <cite>All About Reading<\/cite>?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Rolling-Cart-5-650.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"540\" class=\"right\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>If you've ever spent time over at our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/AALPSupportGroup\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><cite>All About Reading<\/cite> and <cite>All About Spelling<\/cite> Facebook Support Group<\/a>, you likely discovered a wide range of ways to prep and organize your <cite>AAR<\/cite> materials, and a lot of lighthearted discussion about which method is \"best.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>But you know what? There is no best way! All the organizing styles above fit perfectly with <cite>All About Reading<\/cite>. While <cite>AAR<\/cite> is a scripted, open-and-go program that doesn\u2019t need to be prepped in advance, <span class=\"italic\">you\u2019re free to be you.<\/span> And if that means laminating everything, go for it! But if not, that\u2019s fine too.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2>The Bottom Line<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p><cite>All About Reading<\/cite> is an adaptable, approachable, and adjustable program...no matter how it's prepped. So organize (or not!) to your heart\u2019s content. Because no matter how you prepare and organize your lessons, <cite>All About Reading<\/cite> will do exactly what it was designed to do...make reading easy to teach and easy to learn. And that's the <span class=\"italic\">most<\/span> important thing!<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Are you a Simple Samantha, a Weekly Wendy, or a Detailed Dorothy?
