Learning Language Arts Through Literature

Curriculum, Language Arts Curriculum2 CommentsJuly 27, 2008Homeschool Curriculum

Learning Language Arts through Literature is an integrated homeschool curriculum. This teaches everything having to do with language arts. This includes language, vocabulary, spelling, homeschool grammar and literature.

It also teaches reading as well as writing mechanics. If you are looking for a program that is going to integrate everything that you need to teach in order to be able to give your children everything they need for language arts then this is a program to consider.

The Benefits of this Homeschool Curriculum

learninglanguageartsthroughliteratureThe major benefit is that it incorporates everything. Everything that you need to learn about language arts can be found in this program. This means that the program is packed full of information and that can be a bit disconcerting especially if you are a beginner when it comes to being able to teach as a parent. It is surprising how much information is actually necessary and how much is learned by children and what was learned as a child. That can make it overwhelming. What is this program’s greatest strength the ability of the program to provide everything that goes into language and language arts is also one of the programs weaknesses.

A program, which focuses and contains too much information, can overwhelm a beginning teacher who is trying to focus on presenting information. The program does present the lessons in an interesting and new way that can provide a great relief for parents who have difficulty teaching their children the parts of language through the traditional fill in the blank lessons when it comes to grammar.

Uses Good Literature as a Focus

This program teaches the parts of language through the use of literary passages making it not just a fill in the blank but it provides a way for you to teach language in a conceptual method. This does not just show language but shows how the language is actually used. Other activities include incorporating the use of the parts of speech and language into actual writing rather than fill in the blank. This is a remarkable approach that can do wonders for individuals who may have difficulty when it comes to learning language in a traditional fashion.

Language takes a great deal of patience and practice if you are going to be able to learn it well and being able to teach it can be one of the more difficult tasks that face the home schooling parent.

Having a program that can provide you with a way to present all the parts of language in a way that not only teaches them as themselves but also as concepts and in a way that not only teaches how they are used correctly but presents literature in both contemporary and classical styles is something that should be seriously considered.

One of Our Top Picks

Learning Language Arts through Literature is one of our top picks. However, we recommend using another program for children under 2nd grade. While the higher levels are excellent, there are better programs to teach a child reading skills.

I am surprised that this curriculum is not as popular. I am impressed with how the child is taught to make connections in literature and grammar. No program is perfect, but this program comes to close to teaching the most important aspects of LA yet using classic literature. I have been dissapointed with other programs and their lack of literature in their programs. If my child will learn grammar, then let him learn through good literature.
