Here is what the All About Spelling website says about their program:

 

Why All About Spelling Works

All About Spelling is an excellent program if you are just beginning to teach your child spelling, or if your child needs remedial help. Here’s why it works:

• All About Spelling is multisensory. The lessons involve sight, sound, and touch. Children learn best when they are physically involved in the learning process, so we take advantage of that fact with this hands-on approach to learning and teaching spelling.
• All About Spelling is logical. Spelling concepts are taught in a logical, understandable order. Each lesson builds upon the previous lesson. The sequence has been carefully tested to produce long-term results. And this is as much a benefit to you as it is to your student—especially if you’ve been struggling with how to teach spelling.
• No gaps. This is something that you can trust with the All About Spelling program: your child won’t be left with gaps or holes in his or her understanding of spelling. If there is a reliable rule that will help your child out, we teach it. If there is a tip that will help your child master a certain spelling pattern, it’s in there. And it’s all presented in a very logical order.
• The program is mastery-based, not grade-level based, so when students master a specific concept, they move on. If a child needs more practice in a certain area, we allow for that so the child can really master each concept. There’s no sense building on a shaky foundation, because that will cause spelling difficulties down the road when the spelling words get harder. At All About Spelling, we’ve identified the concepts that are most important for your child to master, and we’ve weeded out any busy work.
• All About Spelling has continual review. As the child learns new material, he or she also constantly reviews previously-taught concepts. We don’t just “teach it and forget it”…we make sure that it really sticks.
• Finally, the program is clear. This means that children are taught what they need to know in a direct manner. They don’t have to guess or come to their own conclusions about the English language.

These techniques have long been used by Orton-Gillingham practitioners, and now they are available to home educators and tutors through the All About Spelling program. All About Spelling combines the very best of the Orton-Gillingham approach with the latest research and proven spelling rules. And best of all, the scripted lesson plans are very clear and easy for you to follow.

This program has helped thousands of kids learn how to spell. And with our one-year learning guarantee, you can be confident in placing your order.

Would you like to get a free book?

Who doesn't love free?!?

I'm looking for some book reviewers.

I have compiled five books.  These books are simply compiled Scriptures on specific Biblical topics.

The books are:

The Word of God on Being a Woman, a Wife, and a Mother,

The Word of God on Healing,

The Word of God on Prosperity,

The Word of God on the Parables of Jesus Christ,

and

The Word of God on the Words of Your Mouth.

These are e-books, so you would receive them in your email.

You will be given the book free of charge in exchange for a written review posted somewhere online.  This could include your blogs, facebook, twitter, etc.

Thanks!

Two days in a row of blogging. I must be on a roll. I heard (sadly) that Mary's S&T is no more. It was my favorite day of the week not that many months ago. But life and other commitments put blogging on the WAY back burner. (You have no idea what being an author in the 21st century is like. I think I do about 90% marketing (getting the word out) and about 10% writing.

I found this very fun place where you can design ANYTHING to go on T-shirts, buttons, stickers, cards, hats, and so on. It's Zazzle.com

So I played around and made these buttons. What they are good for, I haven't yet figured out. But I might give some away as time goes by. We shall see. Anyway, I thought I'd show the button off:

There's no excuse for my absence from HSB, but a quick "Hi, how are you?" comment from Jenn really got me thinking. How hard is it to say a few words and keep in touch with dear sisters I've met and grown to love the past two years I've been on HSB? Mary's S&T was one of my first "howdies" and I was so clueless! She really helped me feel part of the homeschool blogging group, and from there . . .  well, take a look at my friends list . . . I've made some good friends who seem like they've moved away. But really, it's I who has moved away!

I'm on Facebook, but honestly! I didn't even know what it was until a "fan" set up some kind of "group page" over there. I looked at it and said, "O . . K . . . so what's this for?" Then, when my publicist set up a "Fan Page" for me on Facebook, I felt compelled to at least explore what this FB stuff was all about.

Honestly, I do like it, although it's not the same as blogging. But your friends are all in one place and every time you write something they can all see it, rather than surfing and looking for your friends' blogs. But FB lacks the "closeness" that HSB gives, I admit. And I have a hard time coming up with things to say over there.

I thought I'd have a hard time finding things to say for THIS entry, but I guess it's all coming back. I hopefully will even do a Show and Tell tomorrow!
