Get ready to make reading your student’s favorite subject of the day! This is a delightful, developmentally appropriate method for learning to read. All About Reading is a scripted, open-and-go program, developed for busy parents, teachers, and tutors who want to teach reading in the most effective way possible.

Continue your student’s progress on the pathway to reading with All About Reading Level 4. When you order this set of Level 4 Materials, you'll receive these four items:

• Level 4 Teacher's Manual
• Level 4 Student Packet (including the Soar with Reading activity book)
• Heirloom Antics decodable reader
• The Voyage decodable reader

Please note: In addition to the Level 4 Materials, you will also need either the Basic or Deluxe Reading Interactive Kit. The Interactive Kit contains non-consumable items that are used throughout the entire All About Reading program. If you are already using All About Spelling, you can use the same Letter Tiles and Phonogram Sounds app, and will only need to add the Reading Divider Cards and Reading Review Box.
