Master Books Language arts

Yes, me! 🙂

I am using Language Lessons for a Living Education level 2 this year with my dd8. We are enjoying it. The format is different from SW and ULW, in that it is a colorful workbook with various types of lessons. It is a “fill in the space” type of workbook. It rotates the types of lessons, so that the first one is a story (which continues each week). You read some, and your child reads certain highlighted parts. There are lessons with copywork; there are spelling lessons that go over certain sounds; there is a grammar lesson that talks about punctuation or pronouns, for example. There are writing lessons where there is a prompt for the student to orally tell you their story, draw a picture, and then write one sentence from their story.

I like that it breaks down the tasks/skills into bite-size pieces and we’re not doing the same thing everyday. I have used some of SW and ULW with my two older boys and she was just not ready for that. I thought this would be a nice, gentle introduction for her. And she loves workbooks!

There is also a schedule in the front of the book where you can date and/or check off each lesson as it’s completed. I do fill that in, but we just do the next lesson each day.

Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any specific questions.
