Levels and Placement

Use our placement test to determine which level is best for your student. If you have questions, please contact us. We're here to help!

There are seven levels in the All About Spelling program. After completing Level 7, your child will be spelling at the high school level and should have acquired all the skills needed to spell just about any word. Read more about what you can do after your child completes Level 7.

You can find All About Spelling samples here.

You can download PDFs of the Scope and Sequence for each level of All About Spelling here:

Our general recommendation is to begin spelling instruction after your child has a strong start in reading. Read The Right Time to Start to learn more.

All About Spelling is very effective for struggling learners. Most students start in Level 1 since this is a mastery-based program, not a grade-level program. The program will help fill in the missing gaps and build a strong foundation. See the article Using All About Spelling with Older Students for more information. Contact us if you would like additional help with placement.

All About Spelling was designed with elementary and middle-school children in mind, but it has been used by students of all ages, including teens and adults. See our article, Using All About Spelling with Older Students. Preschool and kindergarten students who are already reading and are very interested in writing and spelling have enjoyed the program as well. Use the Spelling Placement Test to help you decide if your student is ready for All About Spelling .

Details about Teaching Spelling

As a general rule, we recommend spending 20 minutes per day on spelling. However, you can adjust this recommendation according to your child’s level and attention span. Read Spelling – How Much Time Should I Spend? to learn more. You do not need to complete an entire Step in one day—some Steps may even take a week or more to cover. The speed at which a step can be completed depends on your child’s age, attention span, prior experience, and the concepts being taught. The All About Spelling program is completely flexible and customizable, allowing you to breeze through sections that are easy for your child and spend more time on difficult concepts.

Each spelling lesson presents a single new rule or concept. Instead of jumping from one concept to another, children learn spelling in a sequential, orderly way, with words of similar attributes always being taught together. For example, when the sound of /ar/ is taught, children learn words such as barn, car, hard, garden, shark, and smart. For additional reinforcement, the dictation phrases and sentences include words containing the sound of /ar/.

Continual individualized review is a major component of the All About Spelling program. One of the first things you'll do before beginning to teach is set up the Spelling Review Box. AAS uses several different methods to review concepts and spelling words, including flashcards, word analysis, sentence dictation, and writing activities. Continual review is worked right into the lesson plans to give your child the practice he needs in exactly the areas he needs it, ensuring that he doesn’t forget what you teach him. Take a look at a sample lesson to see how review is handled.

Spelling rules are taught in several ways in our program. First the rule is demonstrated with Letter Tiles to make the concepts crystal clear in your child’s mind. Then the rule is reviewed as many times as necessary until your child masters the concept. And finally, spelling rules and generalizations are also reviewed with flashcards.

Do you have more questions? Please get in touch! We're happy to help.
