the book looks beautiful and great for my new reader!
I would love the book!!
I will definitely have to read “Teach Spelling with Letter Tiles” and “A Spelling Lesson Using Letter Tiles.” We already have the tiles; we just need to use them!
Tweeted!
Mmmm… sounds lovely! Count me in!
Sign me up! This reader looks delightful! As a chocoholic, these chocolates look like a real treat!
One of the characters in the reader is Jill. The reader is just so beautiful! I know my little reader would just adore it! Blessings!
I just tweeted about this giveaway: http://www.twitter.com/christinemary. Thank you!
This definitely looks like something I could use. Thanks for the chance!
The “Does Invented Spelling Have It’s Place?” article is useful for me. My DD has spent a year in public school where they encourage them to spell however they want and it has caused us a lot of problems.
I posted the link to my Facebook. I’m not sure if you can see it though. Here’s my profile: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=719431909
Thanks again for the chances to win!
What a great opportunity! Yummy chocolates to share with your child while they learn… No touching the beautiful pages with melted-gooey-chocolate hands though. Hmmm… maybe we’ll wait until AFTER the lesson(s) to enjoy the chocolates.
I would love the book for my beginning reader! It’s beautiful!
I also posted it on Facebook, not sure how to link it here though. http://www.facebook.com/feeds/share_posts.php?id=511208821&viewer=511208821&key=c9fbda582a&format=rss20
I would love this book. I think my emerging reader would love it. We’re studying animals this year and this would really peak her interest in reading.
This book looks great for my early readers.
Yes, please. Looks great and delicious!!!
I read the article Spelling Activities for Practicing Skills. It gave me some great ideas for my very active learner who wants spelling to be more fun.
I also looked at the samples of the reader. This is a beautiful reader.
The article “Tactile Ways to Practice Spelling” is really helpful to me. I have several tactile learners.
The article Spelling Activities for Practicing Skills looks like it would help my youngest.
Jill is a character in “At the Pond.”
Oh, did I mention I would love to win this? 😉
I would love to win this. The artwork in the book is beautiful!
What a wonderful giveaway! I am currently using All About Spelling Level 1 to teach my five-year-old to read. The Beehive Reader would be a fabulous accompaniment to that endeavor. Thank you for hosting this!
The All About Spelling article that looks most helpful to me is “Developing Phonemic Awareness.”
A neat little book!
I would love to have it for my Grade 1 Daughter
I Twittered for you. I don’t know how to post the particular update URL, but my username is FencedinFamily and I am following you. Thanks!
I appreciate your directing us to this spelling site. I must have missed the earlier post. I will be checking out the “Alphabetizing” article as well as “Teaching Spelling in your Homeschool.” We seem to change spelling programs every year. Thanks!
One of the characters is Dan.
I’ve got my fingers crossed.
What a fabulous gift! I even promise to share the chocolates!!
One of the characters is Cobweb the Cat (great illustrations!)
I would love to win the book and the chocolates!!! Thanks for the chance! We love All About Spelling!
I went to the site and looked at Sample pages from the book! The story Off We Go… character’s Jill and Dan! Thanks again for this chance!

All About Spelling had several great articles! But the one I related to most right now was “Five Ways to Handle Misspelled Words.” I HS our youngest and my oldest is in PS. They both have struggled with misspellings.
I used this approach this morning and WOW!
I’d love this book for my girls. Thanks.
I facebooked this great giveaway!

Tactile Ways to Practice Spelling was a good article for me because my youngest son is a very tactile, kinesthetic learner and I think some of these ideas would work very well for him.
I would love this book.
How cool that the chocolate box was illustrated by one the the Beehive Reader artists!
How can anyone resist the CHOCOLATE?? Thanks for the awesome give-aways!

WOW great book and yummy chocolates!
I would love this (who wouldn’t!?).
Thanks for all the great work you do here. There’s no way I could keep it up at the rate you do.
Because I can really get stuck in a routine and make school boring for me and my daughter, I really enjoyed reading “Teaching Spelling With Letter Tiles.” It gave me some fresh ideas and got my creative juices flowing. 🙂
I posted on my blog, too!

This is a fantastic thing. It would be wonderful to win.
Thank you for offering it.
I love All About Spelling.
Loved Cobweb the Cat. I think my youngest would love learning to read with this book. I can’t believe that my youngest is almost ready to read!
I would love this book! Looks wonderful!
Ken and Ron are characters in The Camp.
What a wonderful reader…my youngest would love it 🙂
I would love to have the book for my son and the chocolates for me.Thanks!
I would love to share the spelling book and the chocolate with my little homeschooler. Animals are always a big draw for him.
Thanks!
We love All About Spelling, and this reader is beautiful! I think my daughter would really enjoy the stories. Thank you for your generous offer!
I have looked at All About Spelling articles in the past, but today took time to read the “What Doesn’t Work in Teaching Spelling” article again and it reminded me of why I love AAS so much! I appreciate that the publisher has taken time to research so many spelling programs, and it helped me to look back and see what we may have done in the past that didn’t work so well.
Blogged it.
