About this title

Synopsis

The purpose of this book is to aid pupils to speak and write the English language correctly. The book is intended especially for use of pupils in the fourth, fifth and sixth grades. It may, however, be adjusted to suit different conditions found in more advanced classes. If "Primary Language Lessons" was used in the last half of the second grade and through the third, the pupil is well prepared to begin "Intermediate Language Lessons," in the fourth grade. Content covers literature studies, letter writing, correct forms of speech and words often misused, vocabulary, outlines, oral and written composition, capitalization and punctuation, civic subjects, such as the school, the court, the state, etc. When an essential fact is taught, the pupil is given practice in using the fact again and again, through dictation, reproduction, and original composition.

From the Back Cover

How to teach your children good English.

The second volume of Emma Serls language series makes it easy to teach during the often difficult intermediate years.

Emma Serls Intermediate Language Lessons is designed for teaching 4th, 5th and 6th grades. As she does with the first volume of her series, Primary Language Lessons, Ms. Serl uses material that both teaches and captures the interest of children. You find the writings of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Alfred Tennyson, Helen Hunt Jackson, Shelley, George MacDonald, Edward Everett Hale and other outstanding authors here. You get imaginative work projects that either reinforce the lessons or direct the child to independent research on topics as varied as coal and birds nests.

As comprehensive a teaching tool as you could hope for; Intermediate Language Lessons includes a broad range of lessons that encompass every aspect of teaching English including: Literature and poetry studies, Letter writing, Creating an outline, Grammar and word usage, All forms of composition, Memorization and oral presentation, Debating, Dictation.

BONUS! Emma Serl uses prominent paintings to help instruct children in observation and discussion. Result: a minicourse in art appreciation as well as English.
