This bundle contains all materials needed for both the student and parent learning with the Using Language Well, 2nd edition (as with other levels, however, a dictionary/thesaurus is recommended). Level 5 is Part 1 of a study on sentence analysis; the second portion of this study is completed in Book 6.
This year’s lessons begin with a quotation from Charlotte Mason herself: “The habits of the child are, as it were, so many little hammers beating out by slow degrees the character of the man.” Pair that with quotations from Charles Dickens (Nicholas Nickleby), Helen Keller, Robert Frost’s The Road Not Taken, and end with an excerpt (which includes dialogue) from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne. While the series’ Christian focus is maintained, this level contains fewer Scriptural quotations than other levels (one Ecclesiastes passage from ESV Scripture). Grammar studies will review parsing of sentences and will begin sentence analysis. Students will examine how words fit together. Along with a Dictionary/thesaurus, students will engage with metaphors and similes, personification, analyze poetry, and study rhyme schemes. Individual consumable student books are available for additional student needs. A placement test is available for help in assigning your student to this level. ~ Ruth
