Further mastery and development in the English Language is provided in Emma Serl’s Intermediate Language Lessons. Drill work is still an emphasis through the 301 short lessons. All 301 lessons are presented in a softcover, one volume, Charlotte Mason inspired approach. Students will work on dictation and memorization skills; composition work reflecting proper etiquette in writing and different styles; reading and analyzing poetry; picture studies to draw out observation and detail skills; further grammar, usage, and mechanic skills; reading excerpts for exposure of different and good writing to model. Reading is at ~760 Lexile level. There is a companion Teacher’s Guide that provides extended activities. The Teacher’s Guide is not a necessary component and is more of an aid if needed. Reading selections are varied to capture the interests of students. 339 pages, softcover. ~Rebecca

Description
Primary and Intermediate Language Lessons were written by Emma Serl and have been well-loved by homeschoolers for decades. Reprints of texts used in the early 1900s, the Primary and Intermediate Language Lessons contain black/white period illustrations (incorporated into the lessons), memorization, classic literature excerpts, narration, dictation, copy work and composition. Instruction is self-contained. These are very simple to use - just open up and go. Lessons are presented in small, manageable pieces with many exercises done orally, making these an attractive choice for the student as well. There are 164 lessons in Primary Language Lessons and 301 lessons in the Intermediate Language Lessons.
We also offer helpful, but optional Teacher Guides. The Primary and Intermediate Language Lessons Teacher Guides provide instructional information for the teacher (i.e. these words are prepositions, words that show position, direction, etc.) and answers as well as extended activity suggestions and directions (i.e. create a preposition mobile by...). Teacher aids include reproducible grading rubrics, writing and dictation worksheets, calendar (Primary), envelope, story map (Intermediate) and Venn diagram masters.
In the tradition of Emma Serl, Advanced Language Lessons is a reprint of the 1917 Aldine Third Language Book, with edits and updates only as necessary. Instructions are written directly to the student, but assume a teacher or parent is present. With an emphasis on effective written communication, grammar coverage is through and comprehensive although there are few practice exercises. No answer key is available for Advanced Language Lessons.
