Program
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 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.
"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 Approach!
The integrated language approach has the benefits of all teaching methods. By
working with pieces of real literature, you focus on grammar, reading, vocabulary,
spelling, writing, thinking skills, and penmanship. Your student has the best
advantage for learning skills in this effective and lasting manner. Perfect for home
schooling or the traditional classroom environment.
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 skill. Your
student has the best advantage for learning and retaining skills in this effective and
lasting manner. |
