The approach AAS offers is not overwhelming for our daughter or myself, which makes it easy to keep going. Thank you for this awesome program! Wonderful, Sabrina! Thankful we found this system to help my eldest son. I was going crazy with our previous learn-to-read experiences.
There is a huge gap in my 11year olds reading and spellling skills. Any tips for an older child with strong reading skills starting AAS level one? Sure, Jen. Just so you know, older students like yours tend to move through the first couple of levels of All About Spelling pretty quickly. But her spelling improved markedly in that month! You may want to order level 2 and possibly level 3 as well as level 1, to save on shipping. Do you have any questions, Lindsey? Let me know if you need help with placement or anything else.
I was thinking about the pre-level All About Reading for my soon to be 4 yr old and my just turned 5 yr old. And using the spelling for my daughter going into 3rd grade, her Reading is good but she really struggles with spelling. Oh, that makes more sense, Teresa! Most 4 and 5-year-olds are ready for the Pre-reading level, but we do have a Pre-reading readiness placement test as well. I think my next step is printing off the test to see what level each child is at?
And no matter the age, I can assess to see if my soon to be 4 yr old would benefit from this? Teresa, Yes, the spelling placement test can be used with any age. However, it is designed to determine if a student needs to start with Level 1 or if the student can skip Level 1 and start with Level 2. Our Right Time to Start Spelling Instruction blog post discusses the considerations for when to begin spelling.
Students should be well begun in reading before beginning spelling, and most 4-year-olds are not yet reading. However, if your child is reading, then the next consideration would be if they know how to write letters well and are comfortable using a pencil. You can adapt All About Spelling to minimize the writing, but considering how young your child is, it may be best to use this time to work on mastering handwriting before starting spelling instruction.

Yes, spelling does support reading and doing both does allow for the best progress for many students. Just ordered for my struggling speller. Looking forward to great improvement in the days to come.

The crosswords and activities are the only things she looks forward to in a spelling program, because she can practice the words in a fun way. I just finished my first year of homeschooling, and I think my son missed something during his many years of public school.
He is ten years old and makes tons of spelling mistakes. Thanks for the tips on how to evaluate spelling programs. Let me know if you have questions or need anything. Wow, not relying on copy work was eye opening for me!
I really would have thought that was the best way! Rachel, When I was new to homeschooling, I thought copywork would be helpful for spelling as well. But my experiences with my children showed me that while copywork is useful for learning punctuation, practicing handwriting, and such, it is not effective for teaching spelling. Let me know if you have questions.
