About this title

Synopsis

Too often, elementary school level language arts programs make use of one "Grammar and Composition" text to teach the very different skills of grammatical understanding and actual writing. Inevitably, grammar gets shortchanged, or writing becomes too programmed and mechanical.  We overcome this by packaging our innovative, exercise-centered grammar program with our literature-based, age-appropriate writing program. Easy-to-use, open-and-go scripted lessons make teaching grammar and writing simple and effective. Together, each Bundle offers an unparalleled full year of language arts study.

For the youngest learners, this gentle, literature-centered bundle offers the first introduction both to grammar and to the skills of putting words down on paper. Writing With Ease includes both instructor dialogue and student worksheets. First Language Lessons is nonconsumable; the work is primarily oral.
