Description
Publisher's Description of American Language Series Complete Package
We do not believe you can find any program that is better and teaches children more effectively than the American Language Series. Most children are reading at a second or third grade level when they are finished. Not only are they terrific readers, but they are very good spellers. Children are reading words within a few days of starting. Each reader covers different vowel combinations. The first reader only has short-vowel words. The third reader has words that are long vowel only if they end in "e". Seeing the same words in their workbooks and then reading them in their readers, helps them to remember them so much better. This is why they end up spelling so well.
Reading is the most important thing a child will learn academically. If they can read, they can learn anything from anyone. Even math is dependent on a child being able to read the instructions. We believe this is the very best program available at a very reasonable price.
Complete set includes:
- 4 Workbooks
- 6 Readers
- Teacher's CD
- Teacher's Guide
Category Description for American Language Series
Phonics and reading (as well as spelling, writing and
vocabulary) are two components designed to be used together, one reinforcing the
other. The American Language Series is a traditional, biblical,
teacher-directed program with carefully laid out lessons. It covers all of
language arts for kindergarten, including phonics and handwriting. The
coursework is fairly serious and rigorous, but the student pages look inviting.
Letters and their sounds are introduced in an order that allows students to
begin reading and writing words almost immediately. As sounds are learned, they
are practiced and reinforced by reading, writing, spelling, and handwriting.
Complete teacher materials include Teacher Handbooks, lesson plans, and phonics songs (contained on a USB flash drive). Lesson plans are very detailed and include step-by step instructions for teaching the lesson plus a content overview, list of materials you'll need, teaching tips, and activities. Handbooks are in PDF format and can be read and/or printed. Songs can be uploaded to a personal device. A brief, spiral-bound Phonics and Reading Guide is also included. Student Materials are printed in full-color. There are four Worktexts (two for each component, 160 to 230 pages) and six paperback Readers (96 - 170 pages).
