Introducing the All About Spelling Color Edition!

Have you heard? All About Spelling got 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 materials.

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

We are so excited to announce that these new color materials for All About Spelling are now available! Visit our storefront for Level 1 and Level 2, or read on to find out more!

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!) (Click to see a sample from one of the All About Spelling Color Edition Activity Books.)

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 1 and 2 immediately. We are working diligently to complete levels 3-7 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.

Robin

Natalie,
Thanks for asking!

We don’t yet have a timeline for Color Editions for All About Spelling Level 5, but we know is won’t be released in the first half of 2025. You can see announcements about our upcoming releases in our weekly email (sign up for our newsletter) and on our social media platforms (Facebook or Instagram).

Thanks for letting us know you are enjoying All About Spelling Color Edition!

Any idea when the level 4 colored edition will be released?

Robin

says: Customer Service

Heather,
All About Spelling Level 4 Color Edition is getting close! It will be released this summer, or maybe a bit sooner. We’ll have a more pinpointed date when we get closer.

Claudia

says:

About the no questions asked guarantee.. if I do decide it did not work for us, I understand I will get a refund, but will I receive a free shipping label to return it or will the return shipping cost be up to me?

Robin

says: Customer Service

Claudia,
You can see the details of our “Go Ahead and Use It” guarantee here.

We offer a full refund of the purchase price within one year of the purchase date, even if the materials are used. We are a small company and unable to absorb the costs of shipping materials.

Angela

says:

Is there a date yet for the level 3 color edition?

Robin

says: Customer Service

Angela,
We anticipate All About Spelling Level 3 to be released in the Color Edition early in 2024.

I’m sorry I can’t offer a more specific ETA, but there are many aspects of publishing that are beyond our control. We’ll announce additional levels through our email newsletter and on our social media pages as we get closer to the release dates.

Sara

says:

Anymore idea on when Level 3 and 4 will be released?

Robin

says: Customer Service

Great timing for this question, Sara! I was just told that Level 3 will be released in January!

Level 4 will be a few months after that; it’s still too early to be able to give a more specific ETA for it.

Stephanie Krueger

says:

Hi! I’m wondering if there will be an all about spelling level 3 color edition coming soon? Maybe within the next month? 😃

Robin

says: Customer Service

Stephanie,
Not within the next month, sorry. We anticipate All About Spelling Level 3 to be released in the Color Edition early in 2024. We’ll announce additional levels on our social media pages as we get closer to the release dates.

Kara

says:

That’s very helpful. Thank you!

Robin

says: Customer Service

I’m glad it was helpful, Kara! You’re welcome.

Kara

says:

I already have AAS cards. Will they work with this new colored edition or have the cards changed too?

Robin

says: Customer Service

Good question, Kara.

The cards have changed as well. The biggest difference is that the Rule Cards (formerly “Key Cards”) for both levels have been completely rewritten to be easier to memorize, and the number of them has changed. The rules all have names now as well. These will not match the old materials at all. Word Cards were added to both levels, some have been moved to different lessons, and many Level 2 words were removed. The Phonogram and Sound Cards in Level 1 were rearranged to match the order of AAR 1. Cards now say “Spelling” on them, so it’s easier to differentiate between spelling and reading Word Cards, and the edition is also listed.

Amber Z

says:

I used the original AAS level 1 with my son and had actually already ordered level 2 to start, when these new colored ones came out. I contacted All About Learning Press to see if I could return the old version level 2 and order the new one. They said I had a year to return, so that’s what I did. We are a little less than half way through level 2 and my son loves this version so much more! We also use AAR and he enjoys that so much and it has made teaching him to learn to read so much easier and more fun than other programs we tried first! When I 1st started him with Level 1 spelling, he would fight me and hated doing it. The activities have really made a difference! Even though he still loves his reading better, he no longer fights me and has come so far learning how to spell! I really hope they release the new Level 3 soon, before we need to start it!

Robin

says: Customer Service

Thank you for the feedback on the new Color Edition All About Spelling Level 2, Amber! It’s exciting to hear that your son is enjoying the Color Edition so much more!

Unfortunately, Level 3 will not be available in 2023. We anticipate releasing Levels 3 and 4 in the new Color Edition early in 2024.

Lydia

says:

I decided to purchase both levels. I have one in level 1 and one that was midway through level 2. I decided to use the color edition level 2 for my child already working on the black and white edition of level 2. We are using it to review the rules again and she loves it. She said it is a lot more fun than the black and white version and is enjoying the activities.

Robin

says: Customer Service

Lydia,
Thank you for letting us know what your child had to say about the new All About Spelling Level 2! It’s wonderful to hear that she thinks it’s more fun!

Laura

says:

Will levels 3 and 4 come with activity books?

Robin

says: Customer Service

Laura,
Yes! Our team is working hard on the higher levels of All About Spelling and they all will be released in the Color Edition with Activity Books. We anticipate Levels 3 and 4 to be available early in 2024, with Levels 5, 6, and 7 to follow later.
