What is our “Approach” to Language Arts?
A Many-Faceted
Program that Utilizes Varied Resources to Keep Students Interested & Motivated!
In the younger
years, our language arts take a multi-faceted, interactive approach. From
Pre-K to 2nd grade include resources that encourage active learning. For instance,
both the Basic Phonics and Advanced Kindergarten language arts programs use
a hands-on activity pack that has dough, macaroni pieces, sand, string, and
more. The activity pack includes a list of activities that teach phonics in
imaginative and fun ways. Other resources reflect this active approach to
learning the language arts skills. As the language arts programs progress
beyond reading and comprehension skills, they add studies of grammar, cursive
handwriting, vocabulary studies, and spelling. In the middle and early high
school years, creative writing is practiced and the student’s communication
skills are refined. Great literature is included in junior and senior high
packages in increasing amounts, exposing them to wonderful classics and offering
them discussion and evaluation opportunities, including on our online forum.
The Strength of Cross-Curricular Study
All of our language
arts programs include readers and a guidebook whose creative writing assignments
coordinate with the basic programs. This means you need to order the correct
package to coordinate with your basic study! Educators recommend the additional
reinforcement that cross-curricular studies offer.
Several Options for the “Learning-to-Read” Ages
We offer several
language arts programs and accompanying reader sets to coordinate with main
programs targeted for younger learners. Just another way to keep your family
learning together, with the perfect options for each student.
