Let me stress that, I had no intention of homeschooling I was watching it for fun. My son had been struggling on his spelling tests so I vaguely thought about trying out the program.

Sure it was cold and there was lots of snow on the ground, but I could come an go as I pleased. Enter the month of March 2020...things got really crazy really quickly. We had just finished competing in our Odyssey of the mind competition and coming in first place for our division and were talking about heading to the State Finals in April. In little over a weeks time I went from planning a trip to the State Finals to becoming a home school mom. Guess how much warning I had?

What was I going to do? How was I going to teach my children? My daughter had an iPad with access to some school apps so we did that the first day. And then I scoured the internet clicking on over 100 tabs trying to find something that would help us...Anything. I texted all my home school friends and asked what they did. I found that flicker of a memory in the back of my head about the spelling program I had contemplated in February. What was the name of it? I went back to Tic Tac Toy Family and found it aha...ALL ABOUT SPELLING. I looked at the website and decided now was the time to help my son with his spelling. I emailed the company and asked it I could get Level 1 of the program in exchange for an honest review. And let me give you a little spoiler alert...I am so glad I did!

My daughter has been moving through them about 1 a day, sometimes we take two days if she she needs. My son was doing two or three days for a lesson at first, but wanting to catch up with his sister most days he insists on doing a whole lesson a day now. That is why this program is so great.

They offer advice if the child is struggling with a certain concept or if they are grasping it fairly quickly. For example there is a list of words to practice after a concept is taught. In the explanation they say if the child has grasped this concept, have them spell a few and then move on, if they have not grasped it, have them use the tiles, segment the words and then spell the word. For now I am having my kids spell all these words.

We switched to this a couple weeks ago. It has helped tremendously. Now they are not searching for a new paper and pencil every time we do spelling.

I was worried that it would be boring for my daughter, but it has been the opposite. Yesterday she told me she is learning new things every day. She may have learned them in school, but with the difference with All About Spelling program the concepts are repeated until they are mastered. In a classroom setting 20ish kids are taught the same concept. It is not always practical to review the concepts with each child each day and make sure they remember the previous concept.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nMy son has really excelled with this program too. It has even helped him with reading. I was worried that he would not get the segmenting concept, in the lessons they teach kids how to segment words into phonogram sounds. He struggled with it and we spent a few days on the concept. Finally it clicked one day and he even uses the concept when sounding out words to read. My kids love making the vowel phonograms sounds. When we had spring break a couple weeks ago they kept saying the phonogram sounds for i and y over and over again.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nThe only thing I would recommend which we have not done yet is get the app that goes with the program. My kids do not always like to set out the tiles. The app presets the tiles and organizes them according to the lesson the child is on.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nI would definitely recommend the All about Spelling program for parents who want to help their kids with spelling. It is good for kids across the spectrum, from kids that are doing well and kids that are struggling with spelling. The program teaches basic concepts and reviews the concepts until they are mastered. I would do the placement test with the child before purchasing a level. If the child does not know everything in the test definitely start on Level 1. If the child is proficient in spelling they will probably go through the first level quickly, but they will learn LOTS according to my daughter. And have a good foundation for the coming levels. We can not wait to do more and my daughter is so excited to start Level 2 soon!\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003ca href\u003d\"https://www.allaboutlearningpress.net/go.php?id\u003d1820\u0026amp;url\u003d5964\" rel\u003d\"nofollow\" target\u003d\"_blank\"\u003eClick here to get All About Spelling!\u003c/a\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cimg border\u003d\"0\" data-original-height\u003d\"1297\" data-original-width\u003d\"1600\" src\u003d\"https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ziGuFn1nUL0/X1bKpg1SpxI/AAAAAAAAKZU/HEpZHXBtl7o9pmTiTRC5Fmnp2XKyohDAACLcBGAsYHQ/s1000/spelling.jpg\" style\u003d\"text-align: center;\" width\u003d\"100%\" /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e"},"link":[{"rel":"replies","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"https://www.jennyscrayoncollection.com/feeds/4279500346377047459/comments/default","title":"Post Comments"},{"rel":"replies","type":"text/html","href":"https://www.jennyscrayoncollection.com/2020/05/all-about-spelling-review.html#comment-form","title":"0 Comments"},{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"https://www.blogger.com/feeds/4459310030661835522/posts/default/4279500346377047459"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"https://www.blogger.com/feeds/4459310030661835522/posts/default/4279500346377047459"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"https://www.jennyscrayoncollection.com/2020/05/all-about-spelling-review.html","title":"All About Spelling Review"}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"Jenny Crowther"},"uri":{"$t":"https://www.blogger.com/profile/10581935202650222384"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$image":{"rel":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail","width":"35","height":"35","src":"//www.blogger.com/img/blogger_logo_round_35.png"}}],"media$thumbnail":{"xmlns$media":"http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/","url":"https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Fe3tXamSW2E/XqyaQmPcxyI/AAAAAAAAJWc/oNZmB0aRjF4kwIr9hp1BSput7f-xVVEaACLcBGAsYHQ/s72-c/DSC_0966_1.jpg","height":"72","width":"72"},"thr$total":{"$t":"0"}},{"id":{"$t":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4459310030661835522.post-6126383270701768565"},"published":{"$t":"2020-04-17T06:26:00.004-05:00"},"updated":{"$t":"2020-07-21T07:05:19.771-05:00"},"category":[{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"STEM"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Teaching"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Parenting"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"STEAM"}],"title":{"type":"text","$t":"10 STEM Activities For Kids"},"content":{"type":"html","$t":"\u003cdiv class\u003d\"separator\" style\u003d\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\nSchool has been out for four weeks for us.

These programming functions can be combined in many different ways. The codes are dragged into the bottom line and fit together like puzzle pieces. Once the line is full no more pieces can be added.

Like many in the United States our schools are closed. This review could not have come at a better time. We are trying to do home school while school is out.

They played with it for a long time that day and every chance they got free time after that.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nThe only thing I would suggest is to have the ability to have more coding blocks in the coding section of the app. That is something that could be changed within the app pretty easily.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nAnother random cool thing we noticed is once the blue tooth was turned on the sound coming out of the iPad came out of the robot.

The kids (1) build the robot. They can build 6 different characters or come up with one themselves. The kids (2) play an interactive game that teaches them about coding. The kids (3) have a space to code the robot to do whatever they want. And lastly (4) the control mode is super fun and a little bit like a remote control. But better. And lastly (5) the robot is super cute. The eyes give it a personality. My almost 2 year old daughter follows my kids around when they are playing with the robot and gets a kick out of the fact it can move around.\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\nI would definitely recommend this to anyone that is interested in STEM toys for their kids.
