Publisher's Description of Language Lessons for a Living Education 5
Language Lessons for a Living Education 5 is a Charlotte Mason flavored approach to elementary language arts. Enjoy a fun and effective language arts program for your elementary student. Students move beyond pages of text and memorization to make real-world connections. This exciting new series will help guide your young learner toward mastery of reading, grammar, and vocabulary, as well as the mechanics of communication and writing. Utilizing observation and reading comprehension through poems, stories, and real books as the foundation, your student will continue to build paragraph writing skills.
The course is a story-based approach, using Charlotte Mason ideas for the modern homeschool student with character-building themes. Each quarter has five stories, two picture studies (one of which is biblically-based), and two poems (one of which is a proverb). Using the spelling words and the Dictionary Worksheets, the student will create their very own dictionary as they move week by week through the material. This course incorporates picture study, memorization, grammar and punctuation, spelling and vocabulary, observation, and application through creating their own stories through pictures, sentences, paragraphs, poems, proverbs, and letters. This course also develops reading and narration skills. Writing stamina is built up gradually. By the end of the course, students should be able to comfortably write various types of paragraphs.
Students will build on and reinforce essential communication skills as they achieve proficiency in grammar, vocabulary, reading comprehension, spelling, and written communication. Independent reading and mastery of effective sentences and paragraphs are at the heart of this course.
Students will enjoy poem, hymn, and picture studies as well as faith-growing stories to inspire detailed and descriptive paragraphs while making real-world connections that enhance this fun and engaging story-based approach. Written with a Charlotte Mason influence but designed for modern homeschoolers, activities include book reports, Scripture, creating a dictionary, narration, and critical thinking games to hone and apply their writing and reading skills creatively.
Scope and sequence, daily course calendar, assessment charts, recommended reading list, spelling practice ideas, and grammar sheets also included!
Category Description for Complete Programs - Language Arts
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.
Category Description for Language Lessons For A Living Education
This Charlotte Mason-flavored curriculum weaves together multiple language arts skills, such as composition, handwriting practice, picture studies, narration, dictation, and progressively more difficult composition skills, alongside labeling-style grammar, mechanics, vocabulary, and more. Scripture study, memorization, and a biblical worldview are emphasized throughout.
Most levels are one-year; Level 1 is a one-semester course. As students work through the levels, skills are spirally targeted, and gradually guide students in developing their ELA skills, including traditional assignments like essays. Writing assignments begin in Level 1 with observation skills. The elementary levels (1 through 6) allow you the freedom to choose a starting place based on your student’s skills. Middle and high school levels target skills by grade, becoming more student independent and intensifying student demands, while still building upon the techniques begun in lower levels.
Each consumable 3-hole punched Course Book is a student/teacher combo. In lower levels, short teacher helps are written in the text. Every level includes a fairly hefty Teacher’s Aid section which provides plentiful reproducible resources like optional games, spelling words, copywork practice, grammar study sheets, answer keys, and more, based on the level. In all levels, any necessary teacher material is included in the back of the text. Brief quarterly assessments are provided.
To function as a complete language arts program, this program assumes you’ll add your own literature choices at every level. Some reading suggestions are included, taken primarily from Master-Books (New Leaf Publications). Reading comprehension skills are broadly covered in lower levels and in more depth at higher grades, focusing on the assigned primary text. Except for Level 2, each level through grade 8 requires an additional biblically oriented text, often overlapping from year to year. Each high school level assigns a classic that students will engage with throughout the year. See individual level descriptions for required supplements. For purchasing, choose from convenient complete packages or individual student consumables. ~ Ruth
