Your Student Should Begin in All About Spelling Level 2
Based on this placement test, your student is ready to begin All About Spelling Level 2.
All About Spelling is a building block program: each level builds upon the previous one. For this reason, students need to start no higher than level 2 in order to learn all of the rules taught in the program and to gain a solid understanding of syllable types and how they help us understand spelling patterns. However, if your student already knows many spelling rules and has a solid understanding of syllable types and syllable division rules, and you believe your student could start at a higher level, please contact us at the email address below for additional placement help.
In Level 2, your student will continue to learn encoding skills, reliable spelling rules, and multisensory strategies for spelling, along with exciting new concepts including 11 new phonograms, vowel teams, syllable division rules, two-syllable words using open and closed syllables, Silent E and Vowel-Consonant-E words, blends, and R-controlled syllables.
If you have additional questions about spelling placement, please see our FAQs or feel free to contact us at support@allaboutlearningpress.com.

Placement Questions
Since All About Spelling is mastery-based, the level numbers do not correspond to grade levels. For example, Level 1 doesn’t have to be completed in first grade. Placement for spelling is based on the student’s knowledge of spelling rules and concepts rather than grade level, reading level, or the words a student has memorized.
Struggling spellers of any age should begin in All About Spelling Level 1. This ensures that there will be no gaps in your child’s learning. You can move as quickly or as slowly as your student needs. If you are working with an older student, he probably understands some of the concepts but not others. In this case, very quickly skim the parts that he already knows and slow down on the parts that he needs to learn.
All About Spelling Level 2 focuses on learning the syllable types, when they are used, and how they affect spelling. This information is foundational for higher levels of spelling. Three syllable rules are introduced in Level 2, and then more in Level 3 and up. For this reason, we generally don’t recommend starting higher than Level 2.
If you think your student might be able to start at a higher level, please visit our Scope and Sequence webpage to review the concepts taught at each level. Your student must know all the rules and strategies from each previous level to start in a higher level.
