Why We Fell in Love With All About Reading

If you've heard the buzz about All About Reading (AAR), it's for a good reason. The multisensory, mastery-based, stress-melting reading program works magic for readers of all ages and learning styles.

Here's why we adore it:

Gentle, Not Rushed

Unlike those high-pressure programs that sprint through phonics like a race, AAR takes it slow and steady—teaching one new concept at a time. Vowels and consonants team up early, letting your child start reading real words almost right away. Instant win!

Open-and-Go Simplicity

Zero teaching experience? No problem. The lessons are so clear, organized, and gently scripted that you'll feel like a pro from Day One. Just open your book, follow along, and watch the magic happen.

Playful Activities

The student activity books aren't just busywork; they're fun and packed with smart reinforcement. Games, cut-and-paste, word flippers... it's like learning disguised as playtime!

Brainy Roots

Built on the trusted Orton-Gillingham approach, AAR teaches 97% of English words through phonetic rules—leaving only a tiny 3% to memorize as sight words. (Your child's brain just sighed in relief.)

Dreamy Readers

Oh, the readers! Beautiful hardcover books with gorgeous, full-color illustrations start in Level 1. They're so good that your child might sneak off to read for fun (gasp!).

And that, dear homeschooler, is why we love it.
