All About Reading is a truly multisensory program. Your student will stay actively involved in the learning process with activities that teach through sight, sound, and touch. Students who use All About Reading tend to feel a sense of excitement in learning. And they should! They are learning how to think, explore, and grow in their abilities.
We recommend spending about 20 minutes per day on reading lessons, but you can adjust this recommendation for early readers or older remedial students. In addition, we recommend reading aloud to your child for 20 minutes per day. Learn more in this article.
Fluent reading takes practice. In fact, your child may need to read a word thirty times before he can read it without sounding it out. With this in mind, All About Reading uses a variety of methods to help children get the practice they need, including activities and games, letter tile demonstrations, fluency pages with words, phrases, and sentences, and fully decodable readers. You will also spend a few minutes each day with the word cards, which help you track the words your child has mastered and those for which he needs ongoing practice. We also include a variety of exercises designed to help your child work on reading with accuracy, meaningful expression, and natural phrasing.
The ultimate goal of All About Reading is reading comprehension. We cover reading comprehension in every story lesson throughout the program. For complete information and a video, visit How to Teach Reading Comprehension.

Reading is a foundational learning activity for college-level courses. Assigned readings prepare you for taking notes during lectures and provide you with additional examples and detail that might not be covered in class. Also, according to research, readings are the second most frequent source of exam questions (Cuseo, Fecas & Thompson, 2007).
Reading a college textbook effectively takes practice and should be approached differently than reading a novel, comic book, magazine, or website. Becoming an effective reader goes beyond completing the reading in full or highlighting text. There are a variety of strategies you can use to read effectively and retain the information you read.
Want to dive in a little deeper? Take a look at Kathleen King's tips below to help you get the most out of your reading, and to read for success. You'll see that some are similar to the tips above, but some offer new approaches and ideas; see what works for you:

This toolkit adheres to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, supporting inclusive education as the most appropriate educational setting for students with disabilities. The toolkit supports the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) educational framework, which guides the development of flexible learning environments that accommodate individuals with learning differences.
Providing evidence-based research and information on effective teaching techniques, the toolkit offers information on how to teach early literacy skills to students with different categories of disabilities, including how to best apply these theoretical approaches in practice in Low- and Moderate- Income Country (LMIC) settings. Although the toolkit provides information on multiple aspects of literacy (grammar, spelling, and writing), the techniques and interventions focus on the concept of reading as taught in the early years of primary school.

Is your child expressing interest in reading? Do you want to develop a young reader but are unsure of how to do it? Is your child halfway through kindergarten and unable to read simple words without memorizing or guessing?
To start, your child will develop a strong foundation in letter recognition, letter-sound knowledge, and other pre-reading skills. You will guide them as they practice writing letters, develop phonemic awareness, and deepen their understanding of letter sounds through interactive games.
Once your child has a foundation in word-blending skills, it's time to read books! Our co-read format will ease your child into book reading in a supportive way. Together you will read fun and engaging stories, reveal hidden pictures, and check for understanding by answering comprehension questions.
As your child begins reading more advanced, multi-line text and graduates from co-read books, they'll need the support of advanced decoding skills. In this phase, your child will learn about long vowel sounds, digraphs, and irregular sight words, as well as how to approach common types of punctuation.
In this final phase of reading development, your child will learn to read smoothly and accurately by expanding their sight word knowledge, vocabulary, and exposure to more complex text. Becoming a fluent reader will enable your child to understand and enjoy books, which is key to developing a lifelong love of reading!
Using patented voice recognition technology, ClearFluency listens to students read aloud and provides immediate feedback. In a three-step reading and fluency lesson, see how this tool works to fast-track fluency improvement.
Unlike other digital reading practice tools that only allow learners to record themselves reading aloud, ClearFluency listens to and helps learners when they struggle or mispronounce a word. The experience is like having a personal tutor available anytime, anywhere.
ClearFluency provides performance reporting at the district, group, and student levels, enabling data-driven decision-making. Graphs enhance each report and show usage, performance, reading level trends, and student proficiency levels.
Our patented technology listens as students read each word aloud and delivers targeted corrective support when a learner struggles with or mispronounces a word. This helps reinforce newly learned reading skills, vocabulary, and fluency, and teaches learners to self-correct as they read aloud.
Students enjoy an ever-growing library of texts to keep them motivated and focused on reading for meaning. Thoughtful selections reflect a wide variety of interests, inclusive representation, and reading levels.
Students make their own text selections and can explore the topics most relevant and interesting to them. As active agents in their own learning, students will gain confidence when they see that their teachers trust them to manage their own literary journeys.
Now imagine that you are a young student going to school and struggling with reading. You would experience similar, discouraging feelings as you fall further behind in class. That is why the shift from learning to read to reading to learn is so important. When students struggle with making this shift, it can have serious consequences.
