[@Seasonedhomeschooler]

this is what AAS should have been from the beginning. Ilove this!

[@LifeintheMundane]

Me too

[@homeschoolmaof3]

I just started the 1st edition with my 4th and 6th graders. I'm excited to use the 2nd edition level 2 since these have more options for older students.

[@LifeintheMundane]

Yes I’m so excited that they added the older section

[@shawnakoch5575]

This video is very helpful! Thank you! I absolutely love that they made the lower levels adaptable for older children by adding more challenging words.

[@LifeintheMundane]

Me too

[@nancystevens8475]

Excellent flip through! Thanks for explaining the changes and what has been added. The artwork is breathtaking! Wow! That being said I'm fine with keeping my first edition because my son gets distracted by too many colors and cute things on the page. He would get lost in the images and start pretending that we were deep in the forest.😊

[@LifeintheMundane]

🥰 I have kids like that too lol

[@creativecuriouslearning]

Oh so exciting!!! I can’t wait to order these very soon. I’ve done all about spelling level 1 before with my oldest who is about to start level 2. And I will be starting level 1 again with my kindergartener/grade 1 son too. I always thought all about spelling needed more activities and visuals so glad this came out. Can’t wait to give it a try

[@LifeintheMundane]

I’m excited to dig into it too

[@samantha.becker]

First year using All About Spelling and I'm so excited!

[@LifeintheMundane]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@tori.homeschoolingmom]

Wow, the new teacher guide looks so similar to AAR; looks like a fantastic update to the old edition! Thanks so much for the timely flip through.

[@LifeintheMundane]

You’re welcome

[@BlessingsatHome]

We just dove into AAR this year and both my kids really enjoy it so I was already planning of getting the AAS. I’m super excited these new editions came out at the right time, they look so fun!

[@LifeintheMundane]

Yes I’m sure you will love them too

[@bethart1985]

I got my level 2 this weekend!!! I need to spiral bind it and I love laminating the cards then we will start!! Yayay!!

[@LifeintheMundane]

That’s awesome

[@CarsensMama36]

Thank you for sharing this! I just ordered it & am waiting for it to come. I actually had ordered the old version because my son just finished level 1, but I’m sending it back to get this. He also does AAR and loves the activities. I’m super excited they are now including an activity book. Hopefully my son will enjoy spelling a little better now!

[@LifeintheMundane]

So glad this could help

[@jwrightgardening]

I'm so excited you posted this. I was just looking at it on the website yesterday and today and I really like what I could see from there. Your video is very helpful to decide if I want to switch to this from the first edition. I'm most excited about the activities and posters that I won't have to print out. They have that stuff for free on their website but I don't like having to go online and track it down and print it off. Anything that saves me time and makes things more interactive and fun for the kids is a big win!

[@LifeintheMundane]

I agree

[@RockSimmer-gal4God]

I’ve ordered the level 1 as we are still on lesson 1 as my older kids have been struggling!!! My teenager loves the tracker as he calls it!!! We’ve printed some of these spelling rules so having them is awesome!!! I wonder if the fact it’s not age appropriate has made it not work for us yet!!! As AAR works and nothing else as worked we stuck with it!!!

[@LifeintheMundane]

Yes sine if these adaptions may help with that

[@dawntaylor603]

I have 1st edition and wish I would have had this new edition from the beginning. 1st edition teacher manual I feel is missing some things and not as easy & open and go as AAR. We will probably continue with 1st edition due to $ and hopefully once we get past level 5 the new ones will be available.

[@LifeintheMundane]

❤️

[@sewwhat85]

Thank you for this video! We are starting our first year of homeschooling this fall with a 2nd and a 5th grader. My oldest has many dyslexic tendencies and spelling has been a struggle since Kindergarten. He can pass a spelling test at the end of the week and can't spell any of those words the following week. I was having a hard time deciding on where he should start since I feel like he's already memorized many of the words in the first couple books. Seeing that they've added in a new section for older/advanced students is really helpful to know!

[@LifeintheMundane]

Yes I’m so excited about the advance list too

[@ssd9154]

Thank you Katie! I've been waiting for something like this! I bought levels 1-3 in advance but really think this might be a better fit so am going to go ahead and get this.

[@LifeintheMundane]

Glad this helped

[@HerChildrenCallHerBlessed]

I just got both levels yesterday! Can't wait to dig in. ❤🎉

[@LifeintheMundane]

That’s exciting

[@kellybeachler4177]

Was waiting for this!

[@LifeintheMundane]

Hope it was helpful

[@sarapayne9445]

Yay! I cannot wait to use AAS. We’re not quite ready for it yet.

[@LifeintheMundane]

🥰

[@becwalker]

Thanks for this. I was on the fence about whether to buy 1st or 2nd edition 😊

[@LifeintheMundane]

Glad this helped

[@MoniqueAduSustainableLiving]

Hi. Thank you so much for this review and look through. This was very helpful to see the difference between the old and the new versions. I have the Level 1 and 2 old ones, that I am working with, so it will be nice to have the other levels when they come out.

[@LifeintheMundane]

Glad it was helpful!

[@MoniqueAduSustainableLiving]

@@LifeintheMundane Yes. Thank you so much! Many blessings to you and your family this homeschool year.

[@Rach609or]

Can you do a sample lesson? How to you like this version compared to the first edition? I have the first edition level 1 teacher manual...borrowed from a friend, but nothing else. I need to buy the cards. My son is 3rd grade, he'll probably zip through this. Should I just buy the old student pack or get this FULL new edition? Thanks for your help!

[@LifeintheMundane]

Here is a video I did showing the difference between editions and which I prefer kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJSWZpmLbdZnbLssi=w89UhL0dAt60HoJl

[@cfoster0212]

YAY! Thank you for doing this! I was excited to see it better. This is our first full homeschool year after I pulled my oldest 2 out of public school in the middle of last year. We have been using All About Reading and really love it. Your video about that helped me a ton and I have used your binder idea so that I can reuse it with all of my kids. As far as the All About Spelling, this is the first time they are including a student workbook? I am excited to see if you can figure out and share a way to reuse them for future children like you did for All About Reading. Seems like it looks very similar except that there are parts that will be written on. I am curious if the written parts will be the same and we can just write on them and use them again or would we need to laminate them to be able to clean them off?

[@LifeintheMundane]

I will let you know as soon as I start putting it together myself

[@amandarodriguez1512]

I’m new to this curriculum is level 2 meant for grade 2

[@LifeintheMundane]

Great question the AAS is not leveled by grade. They recommend starting at level one with all students or at least take the assessment online to place your child in the right level.

[@elaineknoche]

Do you like Evan Moore or aas better? Trying to decide between two. Thank you!!!!!

[@LifeintheMundane]

AAS is definitely my favorite. Evan Moore was good for a season but the long term retention has always been better with AAS

[@LittleFlowerLittleWay]

Could the student books be re-used for multiple students if placed in sheet protectors like you suggest with the All About Reading program? I bought two of the level one student packs, but am wondering if I could have just done one and used it for multiple kids? I'm new to all of the programs and just getting ready to start!

[@LifeintheMundane]

Yes 👍

[@LittleFlowerLittleWay]

Thank you! I think that will save a little money here!

[@littleacrehomestead8914]

Are you planning to set up the activity book the same way you do with the AAR?

[@LifeintheMundane]

I think so

[@crystalh28]

Thank you! I have recently started looking into this curriculum. You sold me on trying it once you said it is risk free. From my understanding the previous edition didn't have consumable papers in Level 1. Do you know if the new edition for Level 1 has consumable papers in the student packet?

[@LifeintheMundane]

I have not gotten to look more in depth but I believe by putting it all in sleeve protectors or laminating pieces you should be able to resuse the activities

[@kristinwindmann75]

Hey, are most of the activities "pick 8 words your child needs more practice with, have them write on the back of these cards, and then do something with the cards"? In the level 1 preview pages, I saw different types of activities, but the level 2 preview only showed those kinds of activities.

[@LifeintheMundane]

Many are that way but there are fill in the blank games, when adding e games, and more. I can let you know more once I use it though

[@kdwerner]

Katie, what is your recommendation about the best time/age/stage to start AAS 1? My son is just finishing AAR1 (he’s 6 1/2), so I wondered if it would be a good time to start AAS in the Fall? I’ve just been afraid to, because I’ve heard other moms say they wish they waited to start spelling later!

[@LifeintheMundane]

I would start in the fall but take it slow. If it becomes too much don't be afraid to take a break.

[@kdwerner]

@@LifeintheMundane thank you so much for your advice!!

[@queeniebee237]

Kasey Werner I was asking myself the same question. We tend to want to go go go with the children when sometimes it is better to wait a little.

[@Jme94]

How were you able to just get the syllable tags? I didn't want to have to buy the letter tiles again, because I already have them. I saw that the syllable tags were different, though.

[@LifeintheMundane]

They just came in the student packet

[@monicacastro7480]

I just got all about reading for my second grader and I’m wondering if doing all about spelling at the same time is recommended or not?

[@LifeintheMundane]

They recommend starting all about spelling 1 at the same time you start all about reading 2

[@cissm10]

Would I start with Level 1 then, for an 11 year old that has struggled with reading and doesn't spell very well? I have been looking at this, and wasn't sure where I should start!

[@LifeintheMundane]

Yes

[@roseselthofer7207]

Are the word cards, phonogram cards the same as the older level?

[@LifeintheMundane]

It looks like they have added some because they have cards for the older kids challenge words it appears.

[@kamishanahan4603]

What all about reading level is your daughter on? I was looking at their website expecting to start level 1 all about spelling at the same time as all about reading but when I looked at the preview of the new all about spelling it said they needed to be able to read a handful of words or have finished all about reading level 1 first. Is that your experience?

[@LifeintheMundane]

Yes! All about spelling level 1 is to be started after completing all about reading level 1. This may sound odd but it’s actually very well done. My daughter has completed AAR1 & is 3/4th of the way through AAR2 currently and we will be starting AAS 2 this summer.

[@kita3256]

Do you think this curriculum will be good for kids with ADHD?

[@LifeintheMundane]

Yes! It’s very ADHD friendly.

[@sabrinahartz2053]

Nooo I just bought AAS level two two weeks ago!

[@LifeintheMundane]

You might try contacting the company and see if they can help. No guarantee but it’s worth asking.

[@sarahlerner1440]

Same! Except I bought almost all the levels at the beginning of this past school year!! :( I am very excited about the new edition, but def bit upset about all that $$$ lost... Also thinking that the new teacher edition actually looks a bit intimidating... !!
