Reading Lessons Through Literature Level 4

If you are looking for an intensive phonics approach to reading that’s easy to implement and won’t consume your entire homeschool­ing budget, Reading & Spelling Through Literature is a good place to look. This is a pick-up-and-go, strong, phonics-based program. The focus is on the beginning reader and includes lists of spelling words and sto­ries to read.

The program takes an Orton-Gillingham approach to teaching: first the phonograms, then spelling, then reading. If you know much about any of the Orton-Gillingham pro­grams, you know that they can be expensive, complicated to use and time consuming to learn. Not so with Reading & Spelling Through Literature. You must take a bit of time to read through the brief introductory material (fifteen pages) and it may take a little time to become comfortable with the process, but after that the program really is pick-up-and-go.

If you add the author’s corresponding grammar program, English Lessons Through Literature, you will have a complete language arts program. The Text (program book) for each level is the one necessary component, although you will most likely want a composition book for each student.

Note: Book 4 has not yet transitioned from Reading Lessons Through Literature. This text will eventually become the new Book 3.
