Language Lessons for Today Grade 6

Language Lessons for Today from My Father's World combines the Charlotte Mason and classical approach to bring homeschoolers short, easy-to-teach lessons that cover basic language skills such as English, punctuation, composition, oral language skills, letter writing, understanding poetry, and more. Children are encouraged to expand upon the language they already know, with better communication with others, rather than purely academic knowledge, as the ultimate goal. Short, interactive, and parent-led exercises are provided, which include poetry, picture study, narration, copywork, and dictation. A number of fine examples of language and art are provided through works by Henry Ward Beecher,Van Gogh, Myra Brooks Welch, and others. This 6th-grade volume contains a more focused study of the parts of speech and begins with an analysis of sentences, in keeping with Charlotte Mason's advice for age-appropriate grammar lessons. 6th Grade. 102 lessons total.
