Reading & Spelling

All About Reading & Spelling

If reading has felt like a daily battle, this is the program that finally makes it click. All About Reading & Spelling uses a proven, multisensory phonics approach that turns hesitant beginners into strong, confident readers — one lesson at a time. Everything is completely open-and-go: the lessons are scripted word-for-word, so there's no planning, no guesswork, and no teaching experience required. It's the reading curriculum we trust in our own home, and the one I recommend to every mom who wants her child to truly love to read.

All-in-One

Open-and-go boxed curriculum

Feeling overwhelmed before you've even begun? An all-in-one boxed curriculum takes the guesswork out of homeschooling — every subject, lesson, and schedule is planned and ready to open on day one. No piecing together programs, no wondering if you're missing something, no stressful prep the night before. Just open the box and teach. It's the simplest, most confidence-building way for a brand-new homeschool mom to start strong and actually enjoy week one.

Books

Living books & read-alouds

Nothing sparks a love of learning like a good book read aloud together. These are the living books and read-alouds we come back to again and again — the ones that turn reading time into the coziest, most connected part of the day and quietly build strong, eager readers. Three of our very favorites to start with:

• Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons — the gentle, proven program parents trust to teach reading in just 20 minutes a day.
• This Is My Home, This Is My School — a heartwarming picture book that celebrates the joy of learning together at home.
• Beginning Readers Complete First Reader — simple, confidence-building stories for brand-new readers to practice on their own.
