Levels and Placement

We want to be sure your child is placed in the correct level, and the placement tests are a great place to start. You can find All About Reading placement tests here. If you have additional questions about placement, please contact us!

All About Reading consists of four levels (Levels 1-4), plus a Pre-reading program. Learn more about AAR here. After completing Level 4, your child has all the skills needed to decode just about any word. Read more about what you can do after your child completes Level 4.

You can find All About Reading samples here.

You can download PDFs of the Scope and Sequence for each level of All About Reading here:

Our Readiness Checklist can help you decide whether your child is ready to begin the reading program or if your student would benefit from going through our program first.

All About Reading is very effective for learners of all ages. The program builds a strong foundation by ensuring that there are “no gaps” in your child's knowledge. Download our placement tests to help place your student in the right level, and feel free to get in touch with us if you have any questions about placement–we'd love to help!

All About Reading is used by students of all ages, including pre-readers, teens, and adults.

Details about Teaching Reading

We recommend spending about 20 minutes per day on reading lessons, but you can adjust this recommendation for early readers or older remedial students. In addition, we recommend reading aloud to your child for 20 minutes per day. Learn more in this article.

Fluent reading takes practice. In fact, your child may need to read a word thirty times before he can read it without sounding it out. With this in mind, All About Reading uses a variety of methods to help children get the practice they need, including activities and games, letter tile demonstrations, fluency pages with words, phrases, and sentences, and fully decodable readers. You will also spend a few minutes each day with the word cards, which help you track the words your child has mastered and those for which he needs ongoing practice. We also include a variety of exercises designed to help your child work on reading with accuracy, meaningful expression, and natural phrasing.

In the All About Reading program, our goal is to minimize the number of sight words your child needs to memorize, while maximizing his ability to successfully master these words. Learn more about our approach in this article on sight words.

The ultimate goal of All About Reading is reading comprehension. We cover reading comprehension in every story lesson throughout the program. For complete information and a video, visit How to Teach Reading Comprehension.

All About Reading teaches a word blending procedure that will break the guessing habit. You can read about it in this article.
