Language Development Teacher Guide
The Language Development Teacher Guide is designed to help you prepare, teach, and review the lessons in the forty-week Preschool Curriculum. Most of the lessons correspond to colorful illustrations on the Language Development Visuals (010269). The lessons are arranged in the order they are used in the Preschool Curriculum. The teacher guide is scripted and will make the teacher’s job very open and go. You can buy the Teacher Guide and Visuals together in the Visuals and Teacher Guide set (047157). ~Amber
Teacher Guide correlates with Language Development Visuals. Each lesson has several parts:
*Introduction
*Looking and Thinking
*Learning More
*Let's Talk About It
*Learning Game
*Let's Have Fun
Basic order of cards is alphabetical so they can be used to reinforce phonics teaching from Animal Alphabet Flashcards. Art Activities and preschool books correspond to these themes.
Teacher Guide is included with Language Development Visuals; order extra copies as needed.
Language arts programs listed in this section cover most areas of language arts (reading/literature, writing, grammar, spelling and handwriting) in one curriculum, although some skill areas may be covered with less intensity than a focused, stand-alone course.
The Abeka® distinctives start very early and flow through all levels, such as a cursive-first handwriting approach (starts in K and reviewed up to 6), thorough grammar (with diagramming), foundation-based composition skills (begins in 1st grade) and listening/speaking skills (including reading aloud and poetry memorization). All with Christian, patriotic-focused content in a spiral format with detailed teacher instruction. In 1st grade, skills introduced in previous years (phonics/reading, optional cursive, poetry, and vocabulary skills) are enriched with creative writing and sentence-level mechanics, weekly spelling tests, and oral reading. In Grade 2, transition to reading comprehension and beginning literature analysis occurs. Grade 3 begins the four-pronged emphasis of reading skills (analysis & discussion), writing (academic & creative), spelling/poetry, and grammar. Grade 4 (Level A) adds speed reading, the writing process, researching, and diagramming. Students refine all skills in Grade 5 (B), aiming for varied reading and writing (emphasizing research skills), as they head for Grade 6 (C), which cements the elementary skills in preparation for Abeka® upper-level courses.
Abeka materials make it easy for you to encourage learning even with children as young as two. Lesson plans help tie everything together. The easy-to-follow guide includes 40 weekly lesson plans for two-year olds and three-year olds, suggested daily schedules, and ideas for having a fun learning experience.
