All About Reading Level 3 Full-Color Edition

All About Reading Level 3

Take your child’s reading to the next level with All About Reading Level 3, the perfect blend of challenge and charm. Building on the solid foundation from earlier levels, Level 3 introduces 16 new phonograms—like OA, IGH, and KN—one step at a time.

Lessons are still hands-on and multisensory, with playful activities that make reading feel more like a game than a grind. Meanwhile, 25 fully decodable short stories add depth and detail, giving your child a chance to practice fluency and comprehension through longer, laugh-out-loud tales.

By the end of Level 3, many students are ready to transition from phonics to traditional reading programs. Others may continue on to Level 4 to finish mastering the phonics rules behind nearly every English word.

Whether your child is soaring ahead or taking steady steps, All About Reading Level 3 makes the journey joyful, confidence-building, and easy to follow—just 20 minutes a day, no prep required.

All About Reading

If you're looking for a reading program that actually works—and doesn't make anyone cry—All About Reading might just become your new best friend. This mastery-based, multisensory program keeps things simple by teaching just one concept at a time, allowing kids to truly understand and enjoy what they're learning. Whether your child is a wiggle worm, a deep thinker, or somewhere in between, AAR's hands-on approach meets him right where he is.

Built on the trusted Orton-Gillingham approach, AAR focuses on phonics, decoding, fluency, and comprehension—all wrapped into fun, bite-sized lessons. Since 97% of English words can be decoded using phonics, AAR sticks to the rules and saves only a small handful for sight word practice. The best part? The phonics readers match perfectly with the lessons, so your child isn't stuck trying to read something they haven't learned yet.

You don't need a teaching degree—or even a good night's sleep—to get started. The "open and go" lessons are lightly scripted, illustrated, and easy to follow. Just 20 minutes a day of instruction (plus a cozy read-aloud) is all it takes to build strong reading habits and lasting confidence.

And the readers? Gorgeous. We're talking full-color, hardcover books with rich illustrations your kids will want to read again and again. Add in the interactive student activity books, and you've got a program that's as effective as it is enjoyable.

All About Reading includes five levels, starting with Pre-reading and moving up through Level 4—roughly equivalent to third grade. Whether you're teaching a brand-new reader or supporting one who's struggling, AAR helps you turn reading time into the best part of the day.
