Synopsis
Children are born with a natural love of learning — the roots for success. How to Create Language Experts with Literary Terms is designed to assist adults as they simultaneously maintain children’s natural love of learning and accelerate their knowledge.
The desire for increased knowledge must never wither away. When students have written the booklets included in the Grade 3 series, How to Create Language Experts with Literary Terms, they will have placed in their long term memory the basic constructs and vocabulary for creating and understanding memorable language.
“Since they had no roots, they withered away.” Matthew 13:6
