Review: All About Reading Prereading

Cannot say enough great things about All About Reading. It’s fun, engaging, not to long but not to short, has everything you need in the kit (you may need craft supplies if you choose) and you can copy the pages if you have multiple students. I am dyslexic, reading and spelling were the hardest for me in school. All About Reading gives me the tools to teach my daughter properly. The teacher guide has little tips to let you know what sound should be used by giving you a word that has that sound. For instance, “I” will sound as it does in “lick” or “I” will sounds as it does in “like”.



Prereading goes through uppercase, lowercase and the basic letter sounds. The two little readers are great for young kids and the worksheets go along with the stories. I school year round so I decided to redo the lessons until we finish the school year instead of buying the next lesson after we’re done. I have enough days to redo Prereading 3x. Since All About Reading allows you to photocopy the workbook I found it cheaper to do that than buy a new book. 


You get 2 posters one of uppercase letters and one of lowercase. My daughter loves them! We bought a pointer so she can point to letters. Ziggy the Zebra is quality made puppet. He is used for little games after each lesson and sometimes has cards to engage the kids even more. Even on lessons where Ziggy isn’t said be use I use him because my daughter loves him. I love that at the end of the lessons it adds for you to read for 20 minutes to your child. So important to do this with kids. I’ll definitely use All About Reading and Spelling every year.

Review: All About Reading Level 4

 We have finished All About Reading Level 4 ! I am so glad that we started using this program from All About Learning Press. It is hands-down the best if you want to teach anyone to read. This last level goes over the rare teams, unexpected phonic sounds, and words that are borrowed from other languages. The break down of each lesson is amazing not only for the teacher but the student as well. The games incorporated make it really intriguing for the student. I absolutely love the little readers that come with each level. The lessons are perfectly spaced out so that it isn't too much at one time. I love the way the teacher's manual is done. As a dyslexic teaching another dyslexic I couldn't be happier with the teaching method. A lot of the things taught in all 4 levels of All About Reading I learned for the first time. I had never learned them in public school but am so glad I am able to teach them to my own kids. While most American adults read at a 7-8 grade level my seven...

Review: Djeco Pompom Pictures - All Aboard

Djeco Pompom  is a super cute and easy art craft for toddlers. They just put the pompoms on the corresponding dots. I like that it comes with all the pompoms you need. However, the glue stick they give you doesn’t make the pompoms sticks to the board. I tried regular glue and that didn’t work either so I ended up having to use a hot glue gun. So, I suggest having hot glue if you get this. There are small circles on the boards to let you know what color pompom goes where so it’s pretty self-explanatory. The kit does come with a small manual that it done with pictures so even your little one can look at the manual and understand which pompoms go on which board. 

Review: A to Z Board Book

Books are a great way to teach kids so I like to start out reading to our girls when they are quite young. We have a lot of books especially ones with the alphabet. This book is another alphabet book for babies and toddlers but it is different because it is with animals. It is called  A to Z Board Book . The main thing that I like about this book is that it is a board book. They are sturdy and they can stand up to the rough way young child treat their things. Our youngest likes to rip up books so I have to only keep board books out and the rest put away. This alphabet book is a lift the flap book so I do keep this one were our daughter can not freely get to it because she will rip the flaps off. We do read this one everyday while we do school because really likes being able to open the flaps and then say the animal and their sounds. If I had to choose one alphabet book for babies and toddlers I would go with this one. We use this board book in multiple ways. We go over the letters,...
