Recently updated, this new edition has some nice added features. The
teacher’s manual is now in color and has over 150 pages of new material for
each level. “Before You Begin” sections and the appendices have been lengthened.
There are also more hands-on learning activities.
New to
this edition is also a full-color activity book. It includes over 200 pages
with a variety of activities and Word Banks! Advanced Application sections give
older students who need more of a challenge the opportunity to engage in new
concepts with higher-level, multisyllable words. Each level also has custom
stickers corresponding to the hero characters for that level. Full-color
pull-out posters with spelling rules feature the hero character from each
level. A “Progress Chart” and “Certificate of Completion” are also included.
To get
started with this program, you will need to purchase the letter tiles and
review box (which now includes the divider cards) separately. This is only a
one-time purchase to use with all the levels. If you have used the first
edition of All About Spelling, you can move on to the next level of the color
edition without a problem. The first edition teacher’s manual, however, will
not work with the new color edition activity book. ~ Gina
