Description
Category Description for American Language Series

Phonics and reading (as well as spelling, writing and vocabulary) are two components designed to be used together, one reinforcing the other. The American Language Series is a traditional, biblical, teacher-directed program with carefully laid out lessons. It covers all of language arts for kindergarten, including phonics and handwriting. The coursework is fairly serious and rigorous, but the student pages look inviting. Letters and their sounds are introduced in an order that allows students to begin reading and writing words almost immediately. As sounds are learned, they are practiced and reinforced by reading, writing, spelling, and handwriting.

Complete teacher materials include Teacher Handbooks, lesson plans, and phonics songs (contained on a USB flash drive). Lesson plans are very detailed and include step-by step instructions for teaching the lesson plus a content overview, list of materials you'll need, teaching tips, and activities. Handbooks are in PDF format and can be read and/or printed. Songs can be uploaded to a personal device. A brief, spiral-bound Phonics and Reading Guide is also included. Student Materials are printed in full-color. There are four Worktexts (two for each component, 160 to 230 pages) and six paperback Readers (96 - 170 pages).
