All About Reading Level 1 There is something magical about the moment a child realizes, "I can read this myself." All About Reading Level 1 is designed to create those moments, guiding beginning readers from letter sounds and simple words to confidently reading complete stories on their own. Building on the strong foundation established in Pre-reading, Level 1 introduces essential phonics skills through a carefully structured, multisensory approach. Your child learns the sounds of the alphabet, blends sounds into words, masters early consonant teams such as TH, SH, and NG, and develops the decoding skills needed for independent reading. Level 1's collection of 52 fully decodable stories gives your child frequent opportunities to experience real reading success. Because every story uses only the phonics concepts already taught, your child experiences the satisfaction of genuine reading success instead of struggling through words he hasn't learned yet. Lessons combine phonics instruction with games, hands-on activities, review exercises, and engaging stories that keep learning active and enjoyable. The carefully paced format allows your child to master one skill before moving on to the next, building both confidence and fluency along the way. Beautifully illustrated, full-color readers bring each lesson to life, while the open-and-go format makes teaching straightforward for parents. Just a few minutes a day helps your child build the skills, confidence, and enthusiasm needed for a lifetime of successful reading. If your child knows his letters and sounds and is ready to begin reading real words and stories, All About Reading Level 1 provides a gentle, confidence-building path to independent reading. Reading lessons shouldn't feel like a daily battle. All About Reading is a mastery-based, multisensory program that helps children build strong reading skills one step at a time. Based on the trusted Orton-Gillingham approach, it combines phonics, fluency, comprehension, vocabulary, and reading practice into structured, effective, and surprisingly enjoyable lessons. Rather than rushing children through a long list of concepts, All About Reading introduces one skill at a time and provides plenty of practice before moving on. This careful pacing helps children develop genuine confidence while reducing frustration for both parent and child. Because the program is built around phonics, children learn how words work instead of relying heavily on memorization. Since the vast majority of English words can be decoded using phonics patterns, children gain the tools they need to tackle unfamiliar words independently. The lessons are open-and-go, lightly scripted, and easy to teach. Parents don't need specialized training to be successful. Just a few minutes a day builds steady progress and strong reading habits. One of the program's most-loved features is its collection of full-color readers. Unlike many beginning readers, these stories contain only the concepts children have already learned, allowing them to experience the satisfaction of truly reading on their own. Interactive activities, games, and hands-on review help reinforce new skills while keeping lessons engaging. The series includes five levels, beginning with Pre-reading and continuing through Level 4. Whether you're preparing a preschooler for reading, teaching a beginning reader, or helping an older child strengthen foundational skills, All About Reading provides a clear, systematic path toward reading success.
