All About Reading : Learn how to effectively teach reading to kids

Written By Madeline Goldsmith

All About Reading is a program that helps teachers, parents, and tutors learn how to teach reading to their kids in the best way possible. All About Reading helps parents, teachers, and tutors gather the resources they need in order to effectively teach their students how to read. It's a quick and simple grab-and-go program. All About Reading was created to make reading easier and less frustrating for both students and educators. This program was designed to be both easy to teach and learn from. Educators take a placement test to determine what level their students should begin at. The level contains activities, games, and stories that students learn from. Parents, teachers, and tutors assist their students along the way. Many parents love this program because it encourages and motivates their children to learn. Parents state they no longer have to push their kids to learn, All About Reading makes it fun and their kids are eager to work on the program lessons. Some parents didn't like how the fluency lessons tended towards the longer side. Their children found the length difficult and a bit stressful.

Grades: Any age but mostly geared towards children and teens.

Cost: A complete package for one level costs around $140.
