Oral Language for Daily Use, Grade 1

The purpose of Oral Language is to provide thirty-six weeks of daily lessons to review, introduce, and maintain punctuation, capitalization, and usage skills within a "whole language" format. Each week's lessons are centered around a topic. Students will apply these skills in daily lessons using sentences which give general knowledge while motivating them to learn more about the topic. It is the intent of this program that students have the opportunity to practice proof-reading skills under the direction of their teacher and ultimately utilize these skills within their own writing.
