Language Lessons for a Living Education 1

Move beyond simple phonics to a gentle course that introduces important basics in grammar while encouraging creativity. They will make vital connections between the endearing images they see and the words they learn. Students will enjoy reading fun stories and completing activities in this full-color book.

They will begin to learn how to communicate with age-appropriate vocabulary words and very simple sentences build on and reinforce their understanding of the building blocks of grammar, vocabulary development, spelling, and connections that are at the heart of reading comprehension. Independent reading books and learning to master writing letters and small words are core to the course.

Written with a Charlotte Mason influence but designed for modern homeschoolers, students will enjoy poems and picture studies, as well as faith-growing verses to reinforce what they are learning. Activities include the structure of simple poems, Scripture passages, word rhymes, some basic language rules, creating a dictionary, easy narration, and critical thinking.

The course includes a scope and sequence, daily course calendar, assessments that can be used to assign grades, a recommended reading list, handwriting practice, and simple grammar sheets!

A helpful and detailed daily schedule:

• DAY 1: Focus on a children’s book, poem, picture study, select Bible verses
• DAY 2 & 3: Phonics reviews, new words, letter combination, writing practice, simple grammar concepts
• DAY 4: Review grammar concepts, more phonics, fun with simple spelling and words
• DAY 5: Word lists for creating your own dictionary
