Description
In this Charlotte Mason language arts course, your fifth-grade level student will be guided to discover English usage and practice spelling through dictation exercises. Short lessons take about 15–20 minutes, with your student completing the questions independently and the parent guiding the spelling component.
A student should begin Using Language Well, Book 3 when he is comfortable with reading and handwriting at about a fifth-grade level.
Level 3 of Using Language Well focuses on the skills of grammar, spelling, and writing is taught through dictation. Students should be able to read and write at a fifth-grade level. Students will begin looking for usage patterns in capitalization and punctuation. Parts of speech instruction begins at this level and will continue in Using Language Well Book 4. A placement test is available to help select the best starting place. For spelling, you can customize dictation to three levels of ability: working on essentials; encouraging steady growth; or challenging a stronger speller. Writing assignments can be selected from your student’s reading from other school subjects such as history or science. At this level, as a goal in writing skills, students should be able to complete dictations of 2-3 sentences and complete two written narrations weekly. Scripture is taken from the ESV. Rubrics help target correction more carefully. Directions are in the student book; answers and teaching aids are in the teacher book. ~ Ruth
