All About Spelling Level 4 Full-Color Edition
Many spelling challenges become easier once a child learns to recognize the patterns hidden inside longer, more complex words. All About Spelling Level 4 helps your child bring together everything he has learned so far while introducing new phonograms, prefixes, syllable patterns, and advanced spelling concepts.
Built on the same multisensory, Orton-Gillingham-based approach as previous levels, Level 4 teaches one new concept at a time while continuing to reinforce mastery through review, dictation, and hands-on practice. Your child learns 12 new phonograms, including TCH, DGE, PH, and OE, while exploring prefixes, advanced syllable patterns, abbreviations, and common word endings.
As lessons progress, he'll tackle multisyllable words, learn how prefixes affect spelling and meaning, work with the various sounds of Y, and master challenging patterns such as /shun/ endings. Rather than treating difficult words as exceptions to memorize, he learns to break them apart and analyze the patterns that make them easier to spell.
Letter tiles, spelling analysis, dictation, and word-building activities continue to reinforce each new concept. The full-color Activity Book provides additional review and practice designed to strengthen retention while keeping lessons engaging.
The Teacher's Manual includes lightly scripted lessons, teaching tips, and step-by-step guidance, making daily instruction straightforward to teach. Most families complete lessons in about 15–20 minutes, allowing steady progress without overwhelming their child.
By Level 4, many children begin approaching unfamiliar words with greater confidence. Instead of guessing, they have learned to look for patterns, identify meaningful word parts, and apply the spelling principles they have spent years building. Level 4 strengthens those skills and prepares your child for increasingly advanced spelling and writing.

How to Use All About Spelling Level 4
- Plan on about 15–20 minutes per lesson. Short, consistent lessons give your child time to absorb new concepts while keeping spelling manageable and productive.
- Work through the lessons in order. Level 4 builds directly on the skills taught in previous levels, introducing advanced phonograms, prefixes, multisyllable words, abbreviations, and more sophisticated spelling patterns one step at a time.
- Begin each lesson with review. Revisiting previously learned phonograms, rules, and word cards helps strengthen retention and keeps important concepts fresh.
- Keep the letter tiles nearby. Building and manipulating words remains an important part of instruction. The tiles help your child analyze larger words, recognize patterns, and apply spelling rules with greater confidence.
- Complete the dictation exercises. Dictation provides an opportunity to apply new concepts independently while strengthening spelling accuracy, listening skills, and attention to detail.
- Use the activities and reinforcement pages. The Activity Book provides additional practice designed to help your child master new concepts while reviewing previously learned material.
- Follow your child's pace. Some concepts will come quickly, while others may require additional review. Feel free to repeat activities or spend extra time practicing before moving forward.
- Watch for growing confidence with unfamiliar words. By Level 4, many children begin to break larger words into manageable parts, look for familiar patterns, and apply spelling principles independently. That's often a sign that spelling is becoming less about memorization and more about understanding how words are constructed.

All you need for the next level of All About Spelling is the Student & Teacher Set. We have additional options for families who use this program with more than one student.
The Letter Tiles app is not included, but you can purchase it for your compatible iPad, Android tablet, or Amazon Fire in your device's store. Don't forget that this app is not required if you purchase the Deluxe Set; it is a digital alternative to the physical Letter Tiles that are included!
Both students can share! If you prefer to have both children complete all tile activities simultaneously, you may wish to purchase an additional set. However, this is not required.
No. The lessons in the Color Edition were changed slightly and the Color Edition activity book will not line up with the First Edition Teacher’s Manual.
Yes! The two editions follow the same scope and sequence, so you can move between the color edition and black-and-white version without any trouble. For example, you can go from black-and-white Level 3 to color Level 4 and back to black-and-white Level 5.
We’ve made purchasing even easier! Due to customer feedback, we have phased out our Interactive Kits. Instead, the Letter Tiles now include all tiles needed for all levels of All About Reading and All About Spelling and are purchased separately as a one-time purchase. The divider cards are also now included with the review boxes.
The older kit did not include specialty tiles (Syllable Tags, prefixes, and suffixes). Instead, these were included in the Level 2-7 Student Packets as needed. The Level 2-7 Student Packets will continue to include specialty tiles to ensure customers still receive all the tiles needed for the program. However, there have been multiple improvements to our new Letter Tiles kit that might benefit you, such as:
- Every tile needed for all levels of All About Reading and All About Spelling including prefixes, suffixes, Greek word parts, and Latin word parts
- Tokens to use with All About Spelling Level 1
- Updated Syllable Tags that will be used for both programs
- 2 zip storage bags for easy organization
No. The First Edition materials are not compatible with the Color Edition materials. Since so much new content was added to the Color Edition, it would be very difficult to use part of the newer version in conjunction with the First Edition.
While the scope and sequence of Level 4 is the same, 11 new lessons have been added to expand on topics and make them easier for kids to learn. The Color Edition Teacher’s Manual has more than doubled in size and provides much more support for the teacher and student. It now includes an expanded Introduction section, Before You Begin sections for each lesson, Advanced Application sections for older students, and extensive appendices for additional spelling reference for the teacher (including a list of spelling rules taught in Levels 1-4). The Color Edition also comes with a 280-page full color student activity book, including spelling rules posters, greatly expanded word banks, and activity sheets for each lesson.
Level 4 has 38 lessons. Please know that the lessons in All About Spelling are not meant to be completed in one day.
In fact, some lessons may take a week or more to finish. A number of variables contribute to how quickly a lesson can be completed, including your student's age, attention span, and prior experience, and the difficulty of the concept being taught.
If you are teaching more than one student at a time, you will need to order one additional Student Packet and one additional Spelling Review Box for each additional student. The Level 4 Materials contain enough for teaching one student.

This is a great spelling curriculum. It helped with my daughters spelling deficits.

Worth it!
Jess L.
My son (11 yo Boy) was having some spelling issues. This level helped us give him the support in rules needed without making him feel insecure.

Great update
KitMama
We’ve been using all about spelling since level 1. I really like how it’s broken down by spelling “rules” and strategies rather than just memorization. The student workbook was a nice addition since my son really likes doing activities with the lessons. However, I was a little disappointed that the majority of them are just blank flash cards that the student can write their spelling words on. I would have liked to see a better variety of activities but glad we are continuing this curriculum.

Hands Down The Best
Jill W.
I started with SUS because it came in the kit. While we liked using it for a few years we discovered that it wasn't working for us. We tried a few others that didn't work either. We had used AAR so I began to look at AAS and it was a game changer. We have level 1-3 in the black and white version and 4 came in color. We love the color and I think my daughter would do well with the extra activities if she were younger. She is in 6th grade though and doesn't feel like she needs all of the activities and would rather use her own plain notebook. For that reason we don't use the student activity book for most of her writing. We do need it for the word banks as well as the Advanced Application sections. That section is new in Level 4 and I do like it.

Our favorite Spelling Curriculum
Lindsay G.
We've tried SO many spelling curriculums and this is by far our favorite! We love that it is quick (10 minutes a day max). We also love the dication sentences provided and that it is rooted in phonics. It works so well for all of my kids.

Another great level
Jen
We like All About Spelling in general because it’s a great way to learn the tools of spelling and not just memorizing. We like level 4 just as much as the other levels. My favorite part of the lessons are when there’s 5 words that my student has to spell and then make up sentences with them. I think it is really good practice on how to form complete thoughts on paper.

AAS Level 4
Monica B.
This is another great level from AAS. I love how this program isn’t just spelling memorization. In the previous levels, I didn’t have my son using the tiles when spelling. He seemed to do well enough without them but for level 4 I’ve added the tiles back in and it has made this level click so much more for him. I love how this program works for all learning styles and as a parent you can adapt it to your child in that moment. This is by far my favorite spelling program offered by Timberdoodle.

Best spelling program
Jennifer C.
We have loved using the All About Spelling program! I love how my kinesthetic learner, my visual learner, and my auditory learner can all succeed in each lesson because it is presented in so many ways. I am sad that we only have one year left with All About Spelling.

Excellent spelling program
Melanie
This program works very well for us. It teaches why words are spelled the way they are, without making you memorize a ton of exceptions to a very few spelling rules. It's easy to use and to teach, with no prep time required, and is not overly time-consuming.

All About Spelling Level 4
Karen L.
We have used all about spelling for several years. My son has been a struggling speller and AAS has helped him so much. I was so happy timberdoodle began offering it as part of the kit. Knowing the rules instead of just memorizing spelling lists has been so helpful.
