Learning Language Arts Through Literature For Grades 1 & 2 (3rd Ed.)

A very complete program organized around quality children's literature and covering phonics, reading, spelling, grammar, vocabulary, handwriting, and higher-order reasoning. Phonics instruction is systematic, introducing a few sounds at a time and providing opportunities to read a "real" (small story book) book which uses those sounds. The literature component (carefully selected children's favorites) reminds students that the reason for all the hard work in phonics is the joy of reading wonderful books. Handwriting method is unique to the program. The Program is sold in a boxed set (Blue and Red only), and includes the Teacher Book, which provides 36 step-by-step lessons, answers, and periodic assessments (no teacher prep needed); the consumable Student Book; level-specific phonics readers, and the Materials Packet which contains cardstock manipulatives. Well-known children’s literature from the Read-Aloud Library (an integral part of the program) is suggested with each weekly lesson. These are available in a Complete Program Package with the Boxed Set as a separate purchase. A user-friendly phonics and complete language arts program, LLATL Blue and Red offer a wide range of activities that will appeal to all learning styles.
