Your student would benefit from beginning in Level 1.

Your test results indicate that your student has not mastered two or more important skills taught in Level 2. We recommend that your student begin instruction in Level 1.

It is possible that your student will progress quickly through Level 1, but beginning at this level will ensure that your student masters all foundational Level 1 skills and concepts before moving on to Level 2. If you have questions about this placement recommendation, please contact customer service by email at support@allaboutlearningpress.com or by phone at 715-477-1976.

In Level 1, your student will learn exciting new concepts, including letter sounds, phonograms, consonant teams, blending, syllables, sight words, consonant blends, plurals, compound words, and much more. Every component of reading is taught: decoding (phonics and structural analysis), vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension.

FAQs

Placement

Why should I wait until my student can read?

There are three main reasons to delay spelling instruction until after your student has begun reading.

  1. While learning to read, students pick up basic skills that will enable them to spell more easily.
  2. It is easier to decode words than it is to encode words.
  3. Reading helps a child establish a visual memory of many words, which makes spelling much easier.

On the other hand, it is important not to wait too long to begin spelling instruction. You want to teach spelling before your child needs it for other subjects so he has skills and confidence as early in his school career as possible.

What if my student can’t read yet, in spite of instruction? Can we start spelling instruction?

Some students are actually able to wrap their minds around spelling more easily than reading. These students are usually very analytical, and some of them have tried to learn to read so many times that they are frustrated with the whole process. Most often, their previous reading programs have let them down and they feel like they’ve hit a wall. In these cases, begin with All About Spelling Level 1 even though the student can’t read yet. Learning to spell through this unique approach can be the key for learning to spell and read.

What will I need if I'm teaching an additional child with this?
