PREP | All About Reading | How I Prep and Plan

Hey friends! Today I'm sharing how I prep and plan the All About Reading curriculum and specifically how to prep the material to use year over year with multiple students in mind. I also share how to plan out your year with this open and go curriculum. Enjoy!

If you are new here, I'm so glad you're here! I'm a 3rd year homeschooling mom of 5 boys (ages 7, 6, 4, 2 and 6 months!). We have homeschooled from the very beginning when my oldest was kindergarten age, but even three years in I'm still learning about this homeschool mom gig. I love sharing a real and raw look at what it's like homeschooling with lots of littles under foot.

Magna tiles for the win! I’ve probably called the letter tiles “magna tiles” dozens of times! 🤣

Glad I’m not the only one 😅😂🤪

Great video, super helpful as I start to prep for my Kinder :-)

[@sixheartshomeschool]

Love this 🥰❤️

Magna tiles mom brain! I got you, girlfriend! It's been a long year. Haha! 💕💕🤣

[@sixheartshomeschool]

SERIOUSLY 🤣🤣🤣

I still add writing the vocabulary words on their writing journal or the phrases nd sentences. U can also tlk about the stories and ask them how they would change the ending or how would they like for it to end it makes them think about sentences and i help them write it out. No need to buy another curriculum in my opinion.

This might be a dumb question, but I thought the workbook was for the child vs us doing the cutting or whatever is in each lesson. But love the binder

[@sixheartshomeschool]

Not a dumb question at all! It’s actually less of a workbook & more of little activities for the child to do. So in an effort to not only prep it so my other children can use it in the future, it also cuts down on the time it takes to do a lesson so I like it being prepped ahead of time.

Is the letter tiles app the same as the one for All About Spelling?

[@ErstwhileEducation]

Great video! I'm currently prepping as I watch. Just a couple questions, did you mean 1 lesson every 3 days or 3 lessons per week? Also, would you recommend a 2" or 3" binder? Thanks :) Also congrats on baby!

[@sixheartshomeschool]

Sometimes we would do 1 lesson in 3 days & sometimes we could get through 3 lessons a week! It just varied on how long the lessons were. The lessons that had lots of practice words & 2 stories typically would take a 2-3 days to get through ☺️

[@sixheartshomeschool]

Also I used a 2” but a 3” would give you even more space to work with!

[@Svargasc3]

How long did it take you to prep all of this?

[@makeupyourmind2019]

I just bought the extra student set half an hour ago! I have two kids that are the same age and they’ll work on this at the same time, so it may not have worked anyway, but I could have at least tried. 🤦‍♀️

[@makeupyourmind2019]

Can you download the app on multiple iPads without having to purchase it multiple times?

[@sixheartshomeschool]

Yes! You can download the app on multiple devices & only pay once 👍🏻 See if you can return it! I bet you could make copies & still work off one set.

[@makeupyourmind2019]

@@sixheartshomeschool we’re going to start as soon as we receive the second set, but for next year I’ll make sure to do what you do!

[@markholder4944]

Can you use the program without the flash cards? I am buying individual components on eBay teachers manual, readers and activity book. Do you think I could get by without the cards?

[@sixheartshomeschool]

Yes you definitely could! The teachers manual lays out which word cards to work on for each lesson. You could easily just write those words onto index cards & use them that way 😊👍🏻

[@markholder4944]

@@sixheartshomeschool awesome thank you I’m enjoying your videos as well

[@amyash724]

How many page protectors do you need?

[@sixheartshomeschool]

I grabbed a big box from Amazon & Cant remember the exact amount I used. Here’s the link to what I got! And I had a ton left afterward. amzn.to/3g76Am2
