A story-based approach to grammar and writing for children! In this level, students are introduced to 4 of the 8 parts of speech using exciting characters (and their correlating colors) to represent each part. Stories, songs, and activities bring the content to life, helping it to stick in the brain long term! (LOVE that Classical methodology!) Each lesson takes 30-60 minutes, but can be spread over several days (depending on age and attention span of student) with the goal of one lesson per week. Each lesson follows the same simple pattern: Read and Sing, Learn and Find, Memorize and Share, Write and Share, and Draw and Share. Scripture verses and biblical traits are emphasized throughout. Grammar songs are set to familiar tunes such as Old McDonald, Ring Around the Rosie, etc. making them very easy to teach AND learn! (Warning: they’re catchy! Your whole family will be singing them!) The writing portion of each lesson offers flexibility and can be completed at 3 different levels: Beginning, Intermediate, and Advanced. This makes it possible to use the same level workbook with multiple ages, although the teacher needs some one-on-one time with each student to complete the writing activities. A student may also benefit from going through the workbook a second time around… the following year, gleaning a deeper layer of understanding. Teacher and student both use this same book, with answer key at the back. The back section also includes 9 coloring pages of the characters and their songs, allowing a hands-on way to reinforce the material. For additional coloring pages, purchase the Coloring Book (013940). 118 pgs, pb. ~Nancie
