Synopsis

Standards in English: A practical course of study for elementary schools

This nonfiction guide outlines a standards-based approach to teaching language, balancing oral and written work with a clear, time-efficient plan. It emphasizes concrete goals for pupils entering high school and provides a structured path for teachers to build stronger language habits.

The book is organized around a two-part plan: a core course in language and a detailed grade-by-grade outline. It also includes an appendix with useful materials and guidance on time allotment. Importantly, it grounds its method in classroom practice, not theory alone, with concrete examples and teacher-ready strategies.
What you’ll experience
  • A clear definition of “language” for elementary students, covering both spoken and written work
  • Guidance on integrating oral practice with developing written language, including spelling and technicalities
  • Step-by-step grade outlines showing what students should accomplish at each level
  • Practical classroom ideas, like using the blackboard for live drafting and peer critique
Ideal for teachers, curriculum planners, and school leaders seeking a time-tested framework to raise language standards in early grades.
