All About Spelling Level 7

About All About Spelling
You know that kids learn in a variety of ways. That is why a multisensory approach, like All About Spelling (AAS), is so successful. But children also differ in their motivational approach to learning. You may have an inquisitive child who really wants to understand the ins and outs of spelling, while his sibling just doesn’t care. If you have a child who thrives on spelling rules and who is most comfortable understanding the reasoning behind each word’s spelling he will adore AAS, because in each spelling lesson, a single new rule or concept is taught. The award-winning AAS provides complete and comprehensive instruction using the multisensory Orton-Gillingham explicit teaching approach.

Is My Student Ready For All About Spelling Level 7?
Students should complete All About Spelling Levels 1 through 6 before starting Level 7. Because All About Spelling is mastery-based, the level numbers do not correspond to grade levels. AAS is a building-block program, where each level builds on the skills taught in the previous levels. AAS not only teaches how words are spelled but also why they are spelled that way – for example, why “cat” is spelled with a “c” rather than a “k,” a concept students can later apply to spelling words such as “emergency” and “concentrate.” To prevent gaps in knowledge, most students will start with Level 1, though older students may be able to work through the levels relatively quickly. If you feel like your student is ready to begin at a higher level, you can take a look through the scope and sequence PDFs to see which concepts he would be missing by skipping levels. If you have any questions about this, please contact us and we’ll be happy to help!

What Will My Student Learn In Level 7?
In Level 7, your student will continue to learn encoding skills, reliable spelling rules, and multisensory strategies for spelling, along with exciting new concepts including words with Latin roots, Greek word parts, and influences from French, Spanish, and Italian languages.
