By teaching these skills in the context of
literature and writing, your student has the advantage of
learning in a highly effective manner that basal programs do not
provide. |
Learning Language Arts Through Literature
is an exciting and different approach to language arts learning.
Best of all, it's been proven highly effective. Students and
teachers love it. |
Learning Language Arts Through Literature
is a fully integrated language arts program that teaches grammar,
reading, spelling, vocabulary, writing mechanics, creative writing,
thinking skills and more.
For example, a basal program may teach adjectives separately from
other skills. The student may be asked to fill in blanks with
adjectives and circle them in a paragraph. This may give your
student a clue about adjectives, but does not translate into his
practical use of adjectives in his writing.
In LLATL, your student may read literature passages that use
adjectives. He may be asked to read the passage without the
adjectives and decide how important they are to the understanding of
a story. Another activity may include writing a descriptive
sentence/paragraph about a picture using adjectives or rewriting the
passage using different adjectives. These activities not only teach
language arts skills in addition to adjectives, but your student
will incorporate the skills into his everyday writing.
The goal of any language arts program should be to equip the student
for a lifetime of communication through the written and spoken word.
With LLATL, your student will acquire a deeper understanding and a
greater interest in the language arts subjects.
Real books are used in the reading lessons, complete with vocabulary
words, discussion questions and a variety of activities. Reading
real books instead of basal stories makes reading a joy and the
beginning of a lifelong adventure for your student.
All levels are written for a 36 week school year. Grades 1- 9
include a Teacher’s Book written in a conversational format making
it easy to use with little or no preparation time for the teacher.
Student Activity Books are available for the 1st - 8th grade. All
levels include review activities and assessments.
