All About Spelling is a program that teaches spelling “hands on”. It works great for those kids who are kinesthetic and visual learners. It does for spelling what Math-U-See does for math!
The program uses phonogram cards and letter tiles to give the learning a hands-on approach. There is a CD of The Basic Phonograms for those students who are auditory learners.
There are four levels available with two more to come. The author suggests starting with Level One, no matter what type of speller you have. Some older students will progress through Level One pretty quickly but doing it will definitely not hurt. You never know when you may touch on a concept that was not quite grasped when the student was younger.
The program may look overwhelming at first, but it is definitely worth the investment in time for the student who struggles with spelling. My son that I worked with this program on typically is one who dreads most things to do with school. After a couple of days, he was asking when we were going to do spelling.
