Purposeful Design Language Arts: Grade 3 Language and Writing Teacher Edition E-Book (1-year subscription)

It covers whole books! This is the remarkable characteristic of this 3rd grade language arts course and one that sets it apart from other grade-level programs from Christian publishers. It's also comprehensive in its overall language arts coverage: phonics refresh, reading skills, grammar (includes diagramming), writing, speaking/listening skills, vocabulary, and spelling in addition to its literature studies.

Language Arts is covered in two workbooks: one for reading and literature and one for language and writing. Each workbook has its own teacher guide with detailed lesson plans and reduced copies of student pages. Individual Reading Guides or Literature Guides are included for each of the Read-Aloud and Student Reader Books. Downloadable/printable resource sheets are also available.
