US Grade 2 - 4
All About Spelling uses multisensory learning. Kinesthetic learning includes building words with letter tiles, sorting words, and writing words, phrases, and sentences. Visual learning includes watching direct instruction of spelling concepts with the colored tiles, seeing the words written down, and looking at the review cards. Auditory learning includes verbally reviewing the review cards, segmenting words out loud, and saying the phonogram's sound as it is written. Each week I will incorporate the following activities: 1. Review phonogram cards, sound cards, key cards, and word cards. 2. Introduce a new spelling concept through direct modeling with the tiles followed by guided practice with the tiles, independent practice in writing, and application in writing in a word or phrase. 3. Assess your child's progress through their understanding of review cards and demonstration of the spelling concept in writing. In level three part one your student will learn ways to spell long A, the fourth and fifth job of silent E, and about pickle syllables.
Learning Goals
Students will learn the phonograms AI and AY and when to use them.Students will understand that the fourth job of silent E is to prevent a singular word from looking like it is plural.

Supply List
1. Students must purchase the All About Spelling Interactive Kit ($22.85) which includes the letter tiles used to build words OR the letter tiles app. The letter tiles app can only be used if the student has two devices, one to take the class and one to use the tiles app. https://www.allaboutlearningpress.com/tiles-and-boxes-s/ (Only if you have not purchased this previously) OR https://www.allaboutlearningpress.com/letter-tiles-app/ 2. If you purchase the physical letter tiles, you will need a large magnetic white board and a dry erase marker. The magnetic whiteboard is so that students can easily hold up the words they make for me to see. If you purchase the letter tiles app, a small white board and marker is needed. 3. Students must purchase the spelling activity book for level three. This will be used for four classes. https://www.allaboutlearningpress.com/all-about-spelling-level-3-activity-book/ 4.
