Thank you for your video! I heard of all about spelling and really was excited to see a video comparison. Thank you, this helped me a lot! Good job with your homeschooling!

I'm so glad you could compare so many programs! So helpful! We haven't tried any of these but I need one for my 4th grader bc his English class doesn't include spelling! So thank you!

Yes!! This is so helpful! I needed this. Thank you!

Thank you! Sooo needed this!

This was so helpful! I’ve never heard about sequential spelling. Sounds like a great choice. I recently purchased an All About Spelling teacher’s manual for level just to check it out and I can tell already that this will be a good fit for my son. Thanks for this video!

Wonderful comparison! We use also use AAS and I am very happy with it as well. A video like this is extremely helpful for those trying to find their "fit". Great job!

Thank you so much for flipping through and walking through how the programs worked for your son, this is still our first year and having this behind the scene's of how the spelling is taught very helpful

When planning for homeschooling for next year, I was lost on what to use for spelling. Thank you for this video!

I just ordered sequential spelling last night for my dyslexic kiddo. Can’t wait to try it!

For anyone interested, All about Spelling now offers a letter tile app, which is great if you get overwhelmed by pieces of have a young hold who might run off with your tiles. We have love it!

This really helped. Thanks for making this

Since spelling has always been a struggle for me, I've been nervous about finding a good curriculum for my kids to learn to love spelling. Thank you for this review, it was helpful to see the pros and cons of four different options!

Thank you, This was helpful!

We just started level 1 last week and we love it! My girl is so interested and involved. She loves it!!

Thank you so much for this video!! Spelling was not working for us. I just ordered Sequential Spelling and All About Spelling the day before I saw this. The random list method was not working for my oldest (though my one kiddo loves it) and Spelling You See didn't work for us either. It seems our kiddos have similar learning styles so I am looking forward to getting these even more now! It was great hear about the different programs you've used.

Thanks! Do you happen to have an updated video review for all about spelling the color edition? Would like to see what you think which is better?

I agree about Sonlight, if you're looking at it specifically for spelling. As a comprehensive LA curriculum, I feel like its strengths are more in the phonics instruction and the creative writing assignments.

Thank you this was very helpful! I've been considering all about spelling. I have a lot of small children so I was a little hesitant about all the pieces but the board idea is great I will just have to keep it hung up high. I know having the actual tangible tiles will help my children learn better. They're very hands on. But like I said I have very small children as well a 1yr old, 2yr old and 3yr old who would love to eat those tiles 😅. We have to be very careful with this. Maybe I have to make sure they are napping or set up somewhere else doing their own activity when I do spelling.

Having used many different spelling programs I would agree with you about Spelling You See, in addition to what you pointed out it is very inconsistent with spelling patterns. I email the company to ask why and they explained that they don't follow a typical Orton-Gillingham style that the words for example when plural and end in s and a natural word ending in s or es, are not shown as different spelling patterns. I felt like we went back a year when we used Spelling U See. A note on All About Spelling, if using all the magnets is too much to deal with they have an app that you can use on most devices. Sure saves on time and it's still fun for the kids. I love AAS too. I have a struggling learner and I keep trying new suggestions and I always end back to AAS.

Thank you for reviewing all of these. We've been using AAS for my second and third grader and I don't mind it at all, but the 3rd grader is dyslexic and always struggling, so someone mentioned checking out sequential spelling for him. Do you have a thought for recommendation between the two as to sequential working better for dyslexia?

Thanks for the review. I think I will try sequential spelling for my daughter. We've tried all about spelling (which works amazing for my son) but she just doesn't care about all the rules or want to apply them. We've been on level 2 for the last 2 years with little improvement. We've also tried spelling you see and it didn't work for either of my kids.

This is so helpful! Which AAS level did you start your oldest with? I’ve heard conflicting things about whether to starts with level 1 or to follow the placement guide.

Thank you for the review! I have only heard of all about spelling and spelling you see. All about Spelling was my 1st pick. But after this review I'm interested in sequential spelling. I've not heard of it before. For sequential spelling could I get away with just using the teacher guide to teach or would I need both the student workbook and teacher guide?

The I Can Read it word lists are not actually the spelling word lists for Sonlight. The spelling word list is in the notes for the week after the schedule.

Question Lists… and copying lists.. Do you think the daily lessons are as effective as just copying and testing on the words? All the parts do seem to Be a reason to keep me away.. lol I want a simple program for my 11.5 year old ready to spell now. Just began getting more fluent in reading. Ideas??? I’m really in struggle mode. Someone gave me ALL of sequential spelling so that would save me sooo much!

I’m curious if you use all about reading as well? Or do people use the spelling on its own and it works out okay?

Thank you for this video. I just ordered all about spelling and all about reading for my special needs 18 yr old and my first grader. My 18 yr old had been at a 4th grade level for reading but somewhere along the line the public school changed their program and now (during the shut down last year) we have discovered she is unable to read simple kindergarten words.

How do you feel about using AAS along with All About Reading? If you use it. We have used it for a while now but should I be using the spelling books alongside it .

There is an app for All About Spelling now without using the tiles.

My daughter is going into 5th grade and spelling has been such a struggle. Trying to find something that will help the words to stick for her. I'm not sure what level to start with. I'm not sure she'll go for something too low if you know what I mean. I was thinking of trying Sequencial Spelling.

Are the levels "grade appropriate" or equal to grades..or do they need to be done in order from book 1 and on

@thehappyhomeschooler where did you get the box?

What grade would you recommend starting All About Spelling level 1? My son will be 1st grade level in the Fall!

Are you sure you’re doing spelling you see according to their directions? You’re supposed to read it together for the parent student portion and for the “test” you dictate it to them and you help them with any grammar help they need. The point is just to spell correctly. They’re not to do this from memory!

how old was your son when he started Sequential Spelling? or what grade? Thanks

We had the same experience with spelling u see. Books C and above are horrible (for us)

when is the right time to introduce spelling..what grade/age?

Would a 6th grader who still struggles with spelling still be able to use all about spelling?

Hi. Is the discount still good?

Do you feel like a child needs All about reading too?

It's not meant to be done by memory, you dictate the passage and so they only have to think about how to spell the words they are focusing on. But I can see how the approach still wouldn't work for for some children. ☺️

Word lists don’t work with my kids!!! I like how sequential spelling shows patterns and we find that we need phonics and we could adapt it to put phonics teaching in as my older kids know their phonics just use it for spelling!!! We love copywork!!! We need a separate piece of paper as we need room for mistakes!!! We love all about reading so Idk why we haven’t used all about spelling!!!
