First Language Lessons 4

$ 29.95

First Language Lessons is a scripted guide to grammar and composition that makes successful teaching simple—for both parents and teachers.

This volume, the fourth in the complete elementary grammar series, uses classical techniques of memorization, dictation, and narration to develop your child's language ability in the important, foundational years of language study. The text covers a full range of grammar topics, including parts of speech, punctuation, sentence diagrams, and skills in beginning writing and storytelling. Optional end units provide practice in dictionary use and letter writing.

Scripted exercises provide a flexible framework for each lesson. The innovative question-and-answer format makes grammar concepts perfectly clear, while the accompanying workbook makes it possible for busy parents and teachers to spend more time teaching and less time preparing. Designed to follow Levels 1–3, Level 4 can also be used as a first grammar text for older students.

Writing and speaking well—these skills are central to academic success. Help your young student achieve them with First Language Lessons.

We have started a pre-order list for First Language Lessons 4. To add your name to the list, send an email to preorders@welltrainedmind.com with your name and contact information . We will contact you for payment information when the books are available for shipment, mid-summer.

The Student Guide will be available for $19.95 and will be shipping around the middle of August.

How First Language Lessons and Writing with Ease Work Together

First Language Lessons and Writing With Ease are designed to be used together. First Language Lessons covers grammar, punctuation, and mechanics; Writing With Ease covers actual writing skills. The two books are structured so that the exercises in Writing With Ease help to reinforce the concepts learned in First Language Lessons.

First Language Lessons does include dictation and narration exercises with some lessons. If you are using Writing With Ease, you may choose to skip these exercises in First Language Lessons (especially for a child whose fine motor skills are still developing). However, if your student needs additional practice in dictation or narration, the exercises in First Language Lessons can act as a supplement to Writing With Ease.
