Used with the All About Reading and All About Spelling programs, these 1-inch color tiles provide a kinesthetic way for your children to grasp the concepts. The letter tiles include everything needed for all levels – this is a one-time purchase. Also included are magnets, tokens for segmenting, syllable tags, and 2 zip bags for easy storing. The tiles are color-coded so students can easily differentiate between the consonants, vowels, and other letter combinations. Tiles are made from heavy laminated cardstock and are micro-perforated, making them easy to separate. ~ Gina

Description
The Letter Tiles kit includes all tiles needed for all levels of both All About Reading and All About Spelling. This set will be used for the lifetime of both programs.
Also included are: magnets; tokens for segmenting; syllable tags, 2 zip bags for easy storage.
The phonogram tiles are color-coded for faster learning. For example: Consonants and consonant teams are blue. Vowels and vowel teams are red. Tiles representing the sound of /er/ are purple.
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.
All About Spelling is an excellent choice for families who want a thorough, logical, and multisensory spelling program that builds deep understanding and long-term spelling success.
