Both are Orton-Gillingham-based, multi-sensory reading programs that work well for struggling readers and students with dyslexia. All About Reading focuses specifically on reading skills through letter tiles, phonics cards, and decodable readers. Logic of English integrates reading, spelling, handwriting, and phonics into a single daily lesson built around the 75 rules of English spelling.
All About Reading is the simpler program to implement. Lessons are shorter, the scope is narrower (just reading), and it pairs easily with other programs for spelling and handwriting. Logic of English is more thorough but more demanding. It covers more ground in each lesson and requires more parent involvement. For families who want one program that handles all of early literacy, Logic of English is the all-in-one choice. For families who want a focused reading program they can pair with their own spelling and handwriting picks, All About Reading is cleaner.
