All About Reading and Spelling®
All About Reading - A mastery-based, multisensory reading curriculum covering phonological awareness, phonics and decoding, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. It’s structured in five levels: Pre-Reading (preschool/kindergarten) and Levels 1–4 (typically K–3/4), each building progressively on the last. Lessons use scripted, open-and-go formats, flashing review, hands-on activities, and engaging readers—designed to help students thrive at their own pace.
All About Spelling-A seven-level, multisensory spelling program built on the same Orton-Gillingham principles. Students progress systematically through spelling rules using colored tiles, blocks of review, and structured lessons that make learning both hands-on and memorable.
