The Orange Book
Fourth Grade
Program Introduction |
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 desire to teach using this
integrated approach to language, this curriculum is for you.
In her books, 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. Perfect for the
home school or traditional classroom environment.
"What an improvement over the standard methods of language
learning! In this series, students learn from excellent literature how to be better
writers and thinkers. I highly recommend it."

Fully
Integrated Language Arts Approach!
The integrated language approach has the benefits of all teaching
methods. By working with pieces of real literature, you focus on English grammar,
reading, vocabulary, spelling, writing, thinking skills, and penmanship. Your student
has the best advantage for learning skills in this effective and lasting manner.
English Grammar is taught in conjunction with reading and writing, not as
an isolated subject. Your student's vocabulary will be enhanced by
reading the good literature carefully chosen for his grade level. We realize that
every student functions at different reading levels. For the more hesitant reader, we
recommend, you, the teacher, read aloud with your student. Grade appropriate Reading
skills are included. Helpful Spelling Tips are included to
help your student develop his spelling skills. Penmanship skills may
be developed as your student writes his dictation or any other writing assignment. Handwriting
is influenced by maturity of fine motor ability so the goal is to improve from
the point at which your student begins. Thinking skills are
developed throughout the activities in the program. Anytime a student is asked to
respond to the literature with discussion, writing, drawing, or completing an activity,
your student is developing higher order thinking skills.
This program provides you with materials, activities, and suggestions that will
encourage and benefit you as you create a learning environment for your student. Since
everyone is different, we suggest that you try our ideas, and then freely experiment until
you find patterns that work for you.
All the units in this program are written to be taught in numbered lessons for easy
reference. A lesson can take one to two weeks to complete, depending on you and your
student. The units may be completed as listed in The Teacher's Book, or
changed to meet your schooling needs.
Since everyone is different, we suggest that you try our ideas, and then freely
experiment until you find patterns that work best for you. We feel certain you and
your student will find this program fun and very effective.
Lessons contain a passage of literature and learning activities. These
activities are designed to help your student learn language skills in their context while
developing writing and thinking skills.
Everyday words taken from literature teach English grammar, spelling, and writing
through dictation and activities that hold your student's interest. |
