LLATL
Philosophy
As parents we watched and marveled at the way our little ones learned to talk. By
listening and responding to English spoken well, they were able to communicate quite
clearly. The process was so gradual that they were not even aware it
was taking place.It is the
belief of those associated with the Learning Language Arts Through Literature series
that written language can best be learned in the same manner. By reading fine
literature and working with good models of writing, children will receive a quality
education in language arts. If you believe that teaching reading using this
integrated approach to language would be the desired teaching method then this curriculum
is for you.
Dr. Ruth Beechick has confirmed that this method of teaching is an appropriate and
successful way to introduce our young students to the joys of reading, writing, and
thinking. Our own experiences using these lessons with young children have encouraged us
to share them with you. Their enjoyment and enthusiasm for reading and writing is an
unmatched recommendation for this method of teaching.
“What an improvement over the standard methods of language learning! In
this series, students learn from excellent literature how to better writers and thinkers.
I highly recommend it.”

The
Common Sense Reading Program
While this title may seem simple, it accurately describes the program. The
Common Sense Reading Program is the simplest, most effective method for teaching
reading and all the language arts skills available today. The easy-to-use format is
both understandable for the teacher and enjoyable for the student.The Common Sense Reading Program makes learning to
read easy for you and your students. Children learn valuable skills like phonics,
higher-order thinking, handwriting, decoding, blending, spelling, English grammar and much
more! With The Common Sense Reading Program you have peace of mind knowing that your
students are receiving all of the language arts skills they need to become effective
readers. The Blue Book Program (1st Grade
Skills) and The Red Book Program (2nd Grade Skills)
are sold separately, so you pay only for what you need when you need it.
The goal of any language arts program should
be to equip the student for a lifetime of communication through the written and spoken
word. With LLATL, your student will acquire a deeper understanding and a greater
interest in the language arts subjects. |
