Learning Language Arts Through Literature is a complete language arts program for first grade through high school.

Integrated Language Arts skills
Using an integrated approach to teaching, students learn the skills appropriate for each grade level in the context of quality literature.
​
Real literature
Reading real books instead of basal stories makes reading more attractive to the student. This creates a deeper understanding and generates greater interest in grammar, writing mechanics, vocabulary, spelling, and other language skills. The goal of any language arts program should be to equip the student for a lifetime of communication through the written and spoken word.

Easy-to-use
All levels are written for a 36 week school year. Grades 1-8 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.

This is a great program for homeschoolers who want to use something other than traditional textbooks but are stymied as to how to accomplish this. It is also a very efficient way to cover the broad swath of language arts skills.

​You will find that LLATL is an affordable alternative to buying separate texts for grammar, spelling, vocabulary, handwriting, and composition student and teacher texts.

​I go back to LLATL each year because I can glance through the lessons for the upcoming week and rely on the guidance in the teacher books to do the heavy lifting. I don’t need to spend additional time piecing things together because everything is ready and waiting for Monday morning.

Everything else we have tried before now seems so dull and dry. The stories just really bring the lessons to life and show the practical application of what I’m trying to teach to them, whether it is grammar, phonics, or vocabulary!
