First Language Lessons for the Well-Trained Mind Level 1 & 2
First Language Lessons for the Well-Trained Mind Level 1 & 2
These are scripted lessons that focus on training children in the first and second grades to use standard English properly. The book teaches rules, usage, and beginning writing skills to early elementary students. Using memory work, dictation and copy work, narration, and grammar, First Language Lessons exposes children to traditional English content in classical style. 200 lessons are provided (100 for each grade). Lessons start with a brief listing of concepts to be introduced, items needed (pencil, paper, envelopes, dictionary, etc.), notes to the instructor, and then a scripted lesson to teach the concepts. Definitions and terms are featured in bold print, with suggested answers for children to provide, plus copy work assignments. Most contain enrichment activities, which develop or review a given concept within the regular exercises, or can be used with older or more advanced students. Again, mastery of these language arts lessons is not the primary intent of this book; introduction and exposure to correct English (in speech, grammar, and writing) is the goal. Whether you are following the classical approach in your educational philosophy or not, this is a delightfully simple and clear way to teach the parts of speech, the writing process, proper punctuation, and other basic language arts skills. (For grades 1 & 2.) Softcover

Comments:
This was a gentle approach for my 1st/2nd grader. She was well prepared for 3rd grade grammar after this curriculum. She had a good grasp on the parts of speech and their definitions. It only took 10-15 min. a day and most was oral.
