We are dancing with joy that our Level 4 color edition is now available for this new school year, and you will be too!
Full-color lesson plans aren’t the only reason to do a little happy dance, however. We significantly upgraded Level 4 content and materials to make teaching and learning easier, more fun, and better than ever!
The new Level 4 teacher’s manual has been significantly enhanced with added tips, resources, and lesson guidance to make teaching easier and truly an open-and-go curriculum. You’ll appreciate the full color throughout the manual, but you’ll love all the new content we’ve added to help you and your students succeed, including:

We know… your students love our 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!
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!
Although we are confident that All About Spelling is better than ever, we want you to be just as sure. As always, our guarantee allows you to use All About Spelling for an entire year risk-free. If you purchase it from us and discover within the first year that it’s not for you, simply send it back and we’ll refund your purchase price. No questions asked.
If you’ve ever had to contact us with a question about using our products, you know that our customer service team is nothing short of amazing. Whether you contact us over the phone, in an email, or on social media, our team always takes the time to help you solve your problem.
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.
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.
Yes! The two editions follow the same scope and sequence, so you can move between the color edition and black-and-white version without any trouble. For example, you can go from black-and-white Level 3 to color Level 4 and back to black-and-white Level 5.
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

Andrea
says:My daughter, who’s older, will be so excited for the color edition! She has used the black and white editions for all the previous levels and was slightly jealous when we purchased a color edition for her brother who is just starting out using AAS.
Robin
says: Customer ServiceAndrea,
I love your daughter’s excitement for the new Color Edition All About Spelling!
Erica
says:Is the black and white still available for purchase? We are so used to it and the color looks fun, but it’s more expensive!
Robin
says: Customer ServiceErica,
We do have First Edition (black-and-white) materials available for some levels. Please email us support@allaboutlearningpres.com for information on purchasing.
Cassandra
says:I know you JUST released the color edition of Level 4 (hooray!), but I’m wondering what is the timeline for the color edition of Level 5? We’re wrapping up the original Level 4 this month after using the color editions for Levels 2 and 3 and plan to wait for the color versions of 5-7.
Robin
says: Customer ServiceCassandra,
We’ve been working hard to get the Color Edition of each level released as quickly as possible! However, we don’t yet have an ETA for Levels 5-7 yet, although we know they won’t be released in 2024. You can see announcements about our upcoming releases in our weekly email (sign-up for our newsletter), on our social media platforms, and of course, here on the blog.
I hope that helps!
Sara
says:Do you think that the Level 5 and 6 will be released early or later in 2025? I won’t hold you to it, but just trying to map things out and plan purchases. Thank you. :)
Robin
says: Customer ServiceSara,
I can’t say. There is so much that goes into publishing, and trying to narrow down a release date six months to a year in advanced is just not possible.
Do keep our one-year guarantee in mind. If you purchase the First Edition Level 5 or 6 and the Color Edition is released within a year, you can return the First Edition materials for a full refund of your purchase price, excluding shipping and return shipping.
