All About Spelling Level 3

I've done All About Spelling levels 1 and 2 with my 9 year old. I bought the first two levels through the All About Spelling website, along with the (very expensive) set of cards, letter magnets, etc. My son hated the magnets and we ended up doing everything on paper with just the book. And it's fine. For us, that's all we need. For people new to All About Spelling, this isn't a workbook. It's a parent's guide that tells you exactly what to say (how to introduce new spelling rules, etc.). And it has words, phrases, and sentences to dictate. It's the best spelling program we've found. I highly recommend it. And unless your kid really loves manipulatives and doing school, you don't NEED all that other stuff that is supposed to come with it.

This curriculum teaches spelling rules in a way that allows kids to practice and understand rather than just memorize words.

This book is really Good. I enjoyed it. 😊

We started in with the "All About Spelling" program level 1 this school year. I decided to use it for both my 2nd grader and my 4th grader who is a struggling speller. We sped through levels 1-3, and then slowed Way down here in level 4 where things started to get a little more complicated. The beauty of the AAS system is that there are a ton of different elements and strategies, all of which are included in the teaching manual, but Not all of which have to be used. As the girls grow in confidence we have largely moved away from the cumbersome magnetic tiles, and I'll be honest: we stopped using the flash cards after level 1. We may pick some of those elements up again when we advance to a level where they need a lot more practice. But for now I use the lessons in this teacher's book as solid guides, substituting white boards for tiles most of the time, and lined paper for some of the other pieces that are included in the student kit that I didn't purchase. I like that it's open-and-go for me, and pretty effective for them. My 4th grader still lacks confidence, but in fact her spelling is getting Far better.

Perfect for our homeschool needs! I love All About Spelling!

Product exactly as described. Fast shipping.

I love this program. It is simply wonderful...easy to follow, easy to use and, it works. My daughter likes it because it is not a lot of busy work, unlike other programs. Some weeks she already knows most of the words and we don't have too much practice work. Other weeks we do more review. The hands-on tiles (purchased separately) are especially helpful for kids who hate writing or are more visual. My favorite part is that the lessons each teach a particular spelling rule. It never made sense to me to memorize a bunch of random words. I am very disappointed to see some people charging $2,000.00 or more for this on amazon, when it is available on the company's website for $40. It's one thing to charge a lot for hard to find or discontinued items but is ridiculous to do so for still in-print curriculum. Buyers beware and sellers should be embarrassed!

Maybe I'm an idiot, but these books aren't so easy for parents to understand! I ordered Level 2 and 3 and tried to follow along with the directions, but quickly forgot... ack. Maybe best for more attentive, detail-oriented parents and tutors, specialists and so on.

I paid full price for a new book but received a used one. This one is dinged up and written in.
