Here's what you'll need for Level 1

All About Reading Level 1 Materials

$159.95

Package includes: one Teacher's Manual, one Student Packet (Activity Book, Flashcards, Stickers), and three readers.

Why do I need this?

  • This materials set is the core of the Level 1 reading program. It contains the student and teacher materials needed to effectively teach Level 1.
  • The teacher's manual and readers in this set are non-consumable. However, if you are using Level 1 with more than one student, you will need an additional Student Packet, Reading Review Box, and Reading Divider Cards for each student.

Reading Review Box

$17.95

This is a one-time purchase (per student). Flashcards NOT included. Includes tabbed Reading Dividers and foam spacers.

Why do I need this?

  • The Reading Review Box includes the Reading Divider Cards and provides the ideal solution for organizing the Phonogram and Word Cards used for daily review.
  • Only one box is needed for each student. This box will be used for all levels of All About Reading.

Letter Tiles

$25.95

This is a one-time purchase per household. Includes every tile needed for both AAS and AAR, magnets, and two storage bags.

Why do I need this?

  • The Letter Tiles are used for both reading and spelling, so if you already have a set of physical Letter Tiles or the Letter Tiles app, you do not need to buy an additional set.
  • For a digital alternative, scroll down the page to read about the Letter Tiles app for tablets. It can be purchased from your favorite app store.

  • Build and divide words into syllables

Placement for Level 1

Please note that the level numbers on our books do not refer to grade levels. Our lessons are mastery-based, not grade-level-based. This means that students are placed according to their current ability rather than their age or grade level. The book may be labeled "Level 1," but this is not meant to indicate that it is appropriate for all first graders. Some kids may begin the program when they are five, while others may begin when they are older.

Complete this placement test to determine if your student is ready for Level 1.

Have Questions about Level 1?

Level 1 has 53 lessons. Please know that the lessons in All About Reading are not meant to be completed in one day.
In fact, some lessons may take a week or more to finish. A number of variables contribute to how quickly a lesson can be completed, including your student’s age, attention span and prior experience, the difficulty of the concept being taught, and the length of the stories.

For a complete overview of how to prepare to teach All About Reading Level 1, see the detailed "Preparing for Level 1" information on pages 7-31 of your Teacher's Manual or watch the Level 1 Preparing to Teach All About Reading videos.

If you are teaching more than one student at a time, you will need to order additional Student Packets for each student. The Level 1 Materials contain enough for teaching one student.

If you will be reusing your Level 1 Materials for future students, you can reuse the Student Packets. Download extra consumable components of the Level 1 Student Packet here:

Our Letter Tiles are designed to be used for both All About Reading and All About Spelling and include all letter tiles needed for every level of both programs. You will only need one kit per household. If you purchased your Letter Tiles before April 2023, see additional information in the "Previous Editions" FAQ section below.

Yes. Each box comes with divider cards, and these are different for reading and spelling. Also, you will want a separate Reading Review Box to store and organize the flashcards that come in your All About Reading Student Packet. If you are teaching multiple students, we recommend purchasing separate review boxes for each child.

Previous Editions

The older kit did not include specialty tiles (Syllable Tags, prefixes, and suffixes). Instead, these were included in the Level 2-4 Student Packets as needed. The Level 2-4 Student Packets will continue to include specialty tiles to ensure customers still receive all the tiles needed for the program. However, there have been multiple improvements to our new Letter Tiles kit that might benefit you, such as:

  • Every tile needed for all levels of All About Reading and All About Spelling including prefixes, suffixes, Greek word parts, and Latin word parts
  • Tokens to use with All About Spelling Level 1
  • Updated Syllable Tags that will be used for both programs
  • 2 zip storage bags for easy organization

Yes you can! See our correlations chart.

No. The main difference is that the new materials are all in full color now.

No, the First Edition of Level 1 cannot be mixed and matched with other editions. Since so much new content was added to the Second and Color Editions of Level 1, it would be very difficult to use part of the newer versions in conjunction with the First Edition of Level 1. For example, you can't use the First Edition of the Teacher's Manual with the Second or Color Edition readers. Learn more about the changes from the First Edition to the Color Edition here.
All Editions of Level 1 (First, Second, and Color) will blend seamlessly into All About Reading Level 2.

The Second Edition and Color Edition both have hundreds of new pages throughout the materials:

  • The Teacher’s Manuals in each includes 4 new lessons and over 100 additional pages of material.
  • The Blast Off to Reading activity book has 30 additional activities, 52 Warm-Up Sheets, and nearly 150 pages of new material.
  • The readers contain a total of 17 brand-new, fully decodable stories and feature expanded page counts.
  • The Student Packet contains 19 new Word Cards.

We're sorry, First and Second Edition materials are no longer available.

We've made purchasing even easier! Due to customer feedback, we have phased out our Interactive Kits. Instead, the Letter Tiles now include all tiles and magnets needed for all levels of All About Reading and All About Spelling and are purchased separately as a one-time purchase. The divider cards are also now included with the review boxes.
