Is All About Reading worth the money?

All About Reading is one of the most trusted parent-taught phonics programs for homeschoolers, especially for kids who need gentle, multisensory, no-gaps instruction. Lessons are scripted and short, and the one-year guarantee lowers the risk. It asks more of the parent than an app, costs about $160 per level, and children who move fast may find the review heavy.
