All About Reading Level 1
 
 
Our Brief Review
 
AAR Level 1 is a comprehensive phonics-based reading program that teaches letter sounds, blending, and reading comprehension
Includes stories and practice words that align with student's reading level as they progress
Stories start simple but improve in quality and length as the child learns more letter sounds
Lessons are scripted and provide specific techniques for teaching blending and reading skills
Requires daily review and practice of sounds, word families, vowels, digraphs, etc., to build fluency
Incorporates multi-sensory techniques like push-pull-swipe with letter tiles to aid in blending
Doesn't include spelling or writing activities in Level 1
The card box system helps organize and store the many word and sound cards
Stories can be repetitive for early readers exposed to high-quality picture books
Completing the curriculum takes perseverance but pays off with significant reading gains
Provides mastery and confidence before moving to the next level
Recommended going back and rereading stories after completion to boost fluency
An investment of time, effort, and money, but it’s very effective at teaching reading fundamentals
 
 
Product Description
 
All About Reading is a scripted, open-and-go program developed for busy parents, teachers, and tutors who want to teach reading in the most effective way possible. This program doesn’t require long periods of study, you don’t have to develop your own lesson plans, and you don’t have to stress over what to teach next—because everything is laid out for you, step by step. You’ll get solid grounding in how to teach reading without being overwhelmed. Your student will be actively involved in the learning process. This is a truly multisensory program; your student will learn through sight, sound, and touch. Everything is taught in context and your student will apply what he has learned right away. Your student will be engaged in thinking, processing, comparing, and learning. 
 
Level 1 focuses on phonological awareness, decoding (phonics), decoding (structural analysis), vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension.
