All About Spelling Level 3

All About Spelling Level 3 Full-Color Edition

By Level 3, many children stop asking how to spell a word and start asking why it's spelled that way. All About Spelling Level 3 is designed for that stage, helping your child uncover the patterns, rules, and structures that make English spelling far more logical than it first appears.

Built on the same multisensory, Orton-Gillingham-based approach as previous levels, Level 3 teaches one new concept at a time while continuing to strengthen mastery through review, dictation, and hands-on practice. Your child learns how silent E influences spelling, how contractions are formed, how syllable types affect pronunciation, and how suffixes interact with base words.

Along the way, he'll tackle contractions such as can't, and they'll learn the C+le syllable pattern found in words like table, explore long-vowel patterns, and distinguish between commonly confused homophones such as dear and deer. Rather than memorizing isolated words, he learns the principles that explain why words are spelled the way they are.

Letter tiles, spelling analysis, dictation, and word-building activities help reinforce each new concept. The full-color Activity Book provides more than 200 pages of games, review activities, progress trackers, and reinforcement exercises designed to make practice both meaningful and engaging.

The Teacher's Manual includes lightly scripted lessons, teaching tips, and step-by-step guidance, making daily instruction easy to follow. Most families complete lessons in about 15–20 minutes, allowing steady progress without overwhelming their child.

As the rules, patterns, and exceptions begin connecting together, many children gain a new appreciation for language itself. Level 3 helps your child move beyond simply spelling words correctly and toward understanding how English spelling works.
