All About Reading: A Multi-Sensory Approach to Reading

Learning to read isn’t one size fits all…reading is a unique adventure for each child! It’s a special journey. One in which you choose what sort of voyages you become a part of.

But, before you are ready to sail the Pequod in search of the elusive white whale you must first learn the alphabet. The sounds of each letter must be mastered before you can go traipsing across the Misty Mountains, while decoding and comprehension are vital before seeking out that magical wardrobe into Narnia.

If your child wants to learn to read, like mine or is a struggling reader, then let me tell you about a multi-sensory approach to reading we’ve discovered!

All About Reading: A Multi-Sensory Approach to Reading

*Disclosure:  This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure statement for more information. I received All About Reading: Pre-Reading Deluxe Package at no cost in exchange for a review.  A positive review was not required. As always, all thoughts and opinions are my own. I only choose to share resources that I would use with my own family and those that I believe other families will enjoy and benefit from. 

A Multi-Sensory Approach to Reading

My daughter loves books. She is always pretending to read to her dolls and stuffed animals. She is a firecracker that very much wants to read her own book without the help of her older brother or myself.

We’ve incorporated several online reading apps and games along with loads of read alouds…but she wanted more.

I knew she would need something that would be both fun, and hands-on. Plus it needed to give her a firm foundation without any gaps in her learning.

All About Reading Pre-reading provides all that and more! This is a multi-sensory approach that encompasses sight, sound, and touch. This means that our daughter finds each lesson interesting, exciting, and engaging. She loves the games and enjoys the rhyming books. Although, the Ziggy the Zebra puppet may be her absolute favorite! Ziggy partakes in all of her lessons, now!

All About Reading: A Multi-Sensory Approach to Reading

Why I’m Loving All About Reading

All About Reading was created by a fellow mom, Marie Rippell. Her son was just 9 years old when she learned that he was profoundly dyslexic. She and her husband were told that he would never learn to read or spell. They felt differently, and thus All About Reading and All About Spelling were born.

I love that this Orton-Gillingham approach is open-and-go. It provides everything I need and makes it easy to teach my daughter in a way that thrills her. Plus, it doesn’t require long periods of study! My daughter is happy with quick 5-10 minute lessons.

Here’s what you get in the All About Reading Pre-reading package…

  • Teacher’s Manual
  • Student Packet (My Book of Letters and Sounds Activity Book, Picture Cards, Letter Sound Cards, Capitol Letter Alphabet Chart, Lowercase Letter Alphabet Chart, and Progress Chart)
  • Ziggy the Zebra Puppet
  • The Zigzag Zebra: a rhyming alphabet hardcover book
  • Lizard Lou: a collection of old and new rhymes hardcover book
  • Activity Box to hold your child’s learning cards
  • Animal Stickers
  • “Letter Sounds A to Z” app
  • All About Reading Tote Bag to keep all of your materials organized

All About Reading: A Multi-Sensory Approach to Reading

All About Reading recognizes that reading aloud is an important component in learning to read.

Read alouds are very important to me. Snuggling with my kiddos with a good book is one of my favorite activities. I love that All About Reading Pre-reading specifies to set aside time for read alouds!

It’s making a difference, folks!

My daughter is learning to read and she couldn’t be more pleased!

    Hi! What age did you start pre-reading with your daughter? My daughter will be three in a couple months, but she is demanding that I teach her to read! She also wants to read “all by herself”!

      My daughter was four when I started her with the AAR pre-reading. We totally followed her lead and took it slow. She’s halfway through AAR level 1 now and still loves AAR and the learning process. Also, the Ziggy the Zebra puppet really helped her. Ziggy only comes out during reading lessons. My daughter likes to pretend to teach Ziggy how to read the words and letter sounds that she has learned as she progresses. It’s adorable, really.
