Language Lessons for a Living Education 6
Students develop comprehension skills, integrating these by applying what they're learning through picture studies and sketching, and spelling/vocabulary. Composition includes sentences, paragraphs, story writing, 2 book reports, and letters. Readings come from The 10 Minute Bible Journey (required, item #070553), poetry (including a proverb), and independent reading you’ve added for your student. Students are encouraged in Christian growth (by creating a personal prayer/Bible journal). At course end, students will be able to write various paragraph types. The Teacher index provides additional activities, spelling, grammar sheets and answers. Purchase the course items separately or as a set, item LLLE6P. 471 pgs. ~ Ruth
Students will focus on the essentials of written communication as they master and apply their skills to grammar, spelling, reading comprehension, and vocabulary expansion. Independent reading and writing proficiency are developed by consistently writing clear, effective sentences within dynamic paragraphs. In practicing these skills, students will start to incorporate more creative challenges, such as figures of speech and descriptive writing.
Students will also review and integrate the eight parts of speech, tricky words and verbs, parts of a story, poems, Bible genres, map studies, picture observation, and much more. With a large Teacher Aids section included, students are equipped to meet any writing challenge.
Written with a Charlotte Mason influence but designed for modern homeschoolers, the course also includes a Scope and Sequence, daily course calendar, assessment charts, recommended reading list, spelling practice ideas, and grammar sheets.
Language arts programs listed in this section cover most areas of language arts (reading/literature, writing, grammar, spelling and handwriting) in one curriculum, although some skill areas may be covered with less intensity than a focused, stand-alone course.
This Charlotte Mason-flavored curriculum weaves together composition, handwriting practice, memorization, picture studies, narration, and other writing skills alongside labeling-style grammar, mechanics, vocabulary, and more. The elementary levels target skills by levels rather than grade, gradually guiding students in all ELA skills. So, you have the freedom to select a level based on your student’s skills. Writing assignments begin in Level 1 with observation skills, and end with descriptive writing in Level 6. Quarterly, brief assessments are provided. High school levels target skills by grade, intensifying the demands while maintaining the same techniques. Master Books also allows additional free PDF resources for each level. Some reading suggestions are included; you’ll add your own reading books at every level. Students study, memorize, and apply Scripture in lessons (NASB in 1-6, ESV in 9). Each level except for Level 2 requires an additional Biblically-oriented text. Level 1 uses 4 additional texts. Levels 3-5 use 101 Favorite Stories from the Bible; Level 6 adds The 10-Minute Bible; and Level 7 requires God’s Story. This last book presents God’s redemptive story through 120 Bible narratives. Masterbooks.com provides free digital lessons so students in Levels 3-5 can participate in this Bible study, replacing the Day 4 lessons in their student texts. Choose from complete packages or student consumables.
Each consumable 3-hole punched Course Book is a student/teacher combo. Short teacher helps are written in the text and a hefty Teacher’s Aid section provides plentiful reproducible resources like optional games, spelling words, copywork practice, grammar study sheets, answer keys, and more, based on the level. Each level is a one-year course. The new Grade 9 is the first high school course available and uses the full text of The Pilgrim’s Progress as a core text (a specific edition is required). ~ Ruth
While still engaging in a story context, students at this level will apply what’s been learned in writing stories, maintaining book reports, picture studies, letters, and learning the various paragraph types. To encourage Christian growth, they’ll create a prayer journal. This level also requires The 10 Minute Bible Journey and assumes that you’ll add independent reading for your student. ~ Ruth
