All About Spelling Levels 1 & 2 Color Edition

Have you heard? All About Spelling is getting a makeover!

Here at All About Learning Press, we’ve always made it a priority to listen to you—our users. Over the years, All About Spelling users have consistently requested two things: activity books and full-color spelling materials.

We took those suggestions to heart and the result is this gorgeous new Color Edition for All About Spelling Levels 1 and 2, complete with activity books!

We are so excited to announce that these new color materials for All About Spelling Levels 1 and 2 will release on April 17, 2023! Here’s a sneak peek.

Here’s What We Changed

When you open the new Color Edition of All About Spelling, you’ll find some new and exciting updates!

Full-Color Teacher’s Manuals

The Teacher’s Manuals have been updated with 150+ pages of new material per level including expanded “Before You Begin” sections and appendices, LOTS of brand-new teaching tips, and even more hands-on learning activities than before. All these features were designed to help make your job as a teacher easier than ever. (Click to see a sample from one of the All About Spelling Color Edition Teacher’s Manuals.)

Full-Color Activity Books

Each brand-new, full-color activity book features over 200 pages and includes a delightful assortment of activities and Word Banks, all designed to help your child succeed in spelling and enjoy it every step of the way. For older students who need more of a challenge, Advanced Application sections provide the opportunity to practice new concepts with higher-level, multisyllable words. You’ll also find full-color pull-out posters with spelling rules so they’re easy to reference any time! (Plus the posters are super cute and feature the hero character from that level. So fun!)

Themed Stickers

We’ve heard it over and over again… your students love those hero characters! That’s why we’ve created custom stickers to correspond with each level! Each sticker pack includes a large sticker of that level’s hero character. Collect all the characters and place them somewhere special once the program is complete!

But as great as these changes are, some of the best things about All About Spelling haven’t changed at all!

Here’s What We Didn’t Change

Our High-Quality Content

All About Spelling has always provided complete and comprehensive instruction using the Orton-Gillingham approach. The new edition still contains everything that makes All About Spelling “easy to learn and easy to teach,” but now there’s even more!

Have Questions about the All About Spelling Color Edition?

Don’t worry, we are here to help! We’ve created a special information page to help give customers a more in-depth view of the Color Edition levels, but here are answers to a few questions you might have. As always, our customer support team is just an e-mail away.

I see that only Levels 1 and 2 are in color. Are you planning on doing the rest of the All About Spelling series as well?

Yes! We were so excited about all the hard work we put into the All About Spelling Color Edition, we decided to release the completed levels immediately. We are working diligently to complete the rest of the levels as fast as we can!

Can I use the black-and-white First Edition Teacher’s Manual with the Color Edition Activity Book?

No. The lessons in the Color Edition were changed slightly and the Color Edition activity book will not line up with the First Edition Teacher’s Manual.

I already used the black-and-white edition of Level 1. Can I switch to the Color Edition for Level 2?

Yes, the two editions follow the same scope and sequence, so you can move between the Color Edition and black-and-white versions without any trouble. For example, you can go from black-and-white Level 1 to color Level 2 to black-and-white Level 3.

What happened to your Interactive Kits?

We’ve made purchasing even easier! Due to customer feedback, we have phased out our Interactive Kits. Instead, the Letter Tiles now include all tiles needed for all levels of All About Reading and All About Spelling and are purchased separately as a one-time purchase. The divider cards are also now included with the review boxes.

Nicole

says:

It looks great, how much is self learning vs parent help/ set up?

Robin

says: Customer Service

Nicole,
All About Spelling is not designed to be independent for students. One of the methods that make it so effective for ensuring children become strong, effective spellers is parents or teachers give individualized feedback to the students in the moment, helping them understand the rules and concepts before bad habits get fixed in their minds.

However, once the initial set up is complete, All About Spelling is open-and-go each day, and we recommend daily spelling sessions be just 15 to 20 minutes.

You can see multiple full lessons in our samples so you can get a good feel for how teaching All About Spelling will go.

says:

AAS has been so great for both of my girls! I love learning the spelling rules! I didn’t know some of whys just knew that words were spelt that way because that’s what I was told. So I am learning right along with them. Thank you!!

Robin

says: Customer Service

You are so welcome, Renee! I love that All About Spelling is working so well for both of your girls, and I love even more than you are learning along with them! I know I learned a lot the first time through All About Spelling.
