All About Spelling is a multisensory, mastery-based
spelling program designed specifically for homeschoolers and tutors. Using the
Orton-Gillingham approach, it teaches spelling through phonograms, the sounds
letters and letter combinations make, rather than rote memorization of word
lists. The program is gentle, logical, and highly effective, especially for
students who struggle with traditional spelling methods.
The lessons are lightly scripted and easy to teach, taking
the guesswork out of instruction. Each level contains around 25-30 steps, with
built-in review and reinforcement so students truly master concepts before
moving on.

Important Notes: The Letter Tiles and the Review
Box are required but are one-time purchases used throughout the entire
program. Levels are based on skill rather than grade level. The program focuses
exclusively on spelling and does not include vocabulary instruction. Students
should be able to read basic CVC words and simple blends before starting Level
1.

families who want a thorough, logical, and multisensory spelling program that
builds deep understanding and long-term spelling success.
