Overall, Learning Language Through Literature is exactly what we needed as a next step. As my son becomes more and more confident as a reader, we are moving into the intricacies of writing.
It is of the upmost importance to me that he learn to write in ways that work well with his learning needs. This program allows him to engage in story and language first, before moving into the details of grammar and sentence structure.
