All About Learning Press was founded by Marie Rippel, the mother of a son with severe dyslexia. When available homeschool curricula either didn’t work or failed to meet her high standards, Marie made it her life’s work to create a reading and spelling curriculum for dyslexic students that WOULD work. (See Marie’s story here.)
Today, Marie’s research-driven, Orton-Gillingham-based All About Reading and All About Spelling curricula are considered among the best—if not the best—language arts curricula available for teaching students with dyslexia.
Marie has instructed graduate-level courses in Orton-Gillingham Literacy Training offered through Nicolet College in Rhinelander, Wisconsin. She also previously served on the Board of Directors of the Literacy Task Force in Wisconsin and tutored students for more than 20 years.
If you’re looking for the right reading or spelling program for your dyslexic child, read All About Reading – A Proven Dyslexia Reading Program to find out why so many parents, teachers, and tutors trust us for their child’s language arts curriculum.
We want to equip you for your homeschooling years as best we can. That’s why we’ve created this extensive collection of resources for teaching at home. Check it out here!

Belinda W
says:I have two children who contend with dyslexia in our home. Our elder of the two, now graduating homeschool, required an individual tutor. After years of advocating for him & struggling to retain, I knew he needed extra help that I could not provide.
A few years later, I noticed his younger sister struggling in handwriting & in math. Thankful I’d remembered the reading and evaluation I’d done with older brother, I quickly Recognized dyscalcula & dysgraphia.
Your resources and your curriculum went to work immediately! Not only do my younger three read well, they comprehend beautifully & best of all, they ENJOY reading!

Alissa
says:This post was super helpful. I have a child ticking many of these boxes. At what stage of reading would you know for sure, as some of these are common mistakes made by beginner readers?
Robin
says: Customer ServiceGreat question, Alissa!
Some of the symptoms of dyslexia are considered a normal part of the learning process, such as reversing letters. Because of this, most children will tick at least a few of the boxes at least at some point in their learning experience.
However, regardless of your child’s age, if you are ticking many boxes, then you may have cause for concern. This is especially true if your child has been receiving reading instruction for more than a year.
I’m happy to address your specific concerns and questions. You can ask here, or email me at support@allaboutlearningpress.com.
