Publisher's Description of Using Language Well Book 1 Teacher Book (2nd Edition)
This teacher guide provides answers and guidance as you lead your third-grade level student through the lessons in Using Language Well, Book 1. Inside you’ll find the complete passage studied for each lesson, answers to the lesson questions, helpful teaching tips, and options for customizing spelling lessons to your student’s level.
Using Language Well Level 1is a perfect place to start in learning composition skills using a
Charlotte Mason approach. Students will study English usage, mechanics, and
spelling by engaging with quotations from authors. The course begins with
shorter quotations such as the proverb, “Marry in haste; repent at leisure.”
Lessons at the end of the year will be more challenging, such as “Pippa’s Song”
by Robert Browning or a 5-lined excerpt from Sherlock Holmes by Sir
Arthur Conan Doyle. This level emphasizes narration (as an oral form of composition).
To take this course, students should feel comfortable writing and reading at about
grade 3 level (a placement
test is available). Most of the student’s work in this level will be oral,
with some transcription of individual words. Students will also practice using a
dictionary, and working with plurals, possessives, rhyming, spelling, types of
questions, and capitalization. They will also be introduced to the use of
semicolons, apostrophes, and quotation marks. Both the teacher and consumable student
books should be used together. Directions are in the student book; answers and
teaching aids are in the teacher book. ~ Ruth
