First Language Lessons for the Well-Trained Mind, Levels 1 + 2 – Hardback


by Jessie Wise

See Sample Lessons

The only book you need to teach grammar for first and second grade. The lessons are short but effective; each one takes 5-15 minutes. The first 40 lessons are oral, since most first graders are not ready to do a lot of pencil-work. (There are enrichment exercises for those children who write easily.)

This book teaches grammar concepts in a gentle, yet thorough, way. In just minutes a day, two to three times per week, your child will learn eight parts of speech, the basic rules of capitalization and punctuation, the four types of sentences, and beginning storytelling and narration skills. For a detailed list of the topics covered in first and second grade, click here.

You can also purchase the audio companion to Levels 1 and 2 (click here for info). This CD is an excellent memory aid; it contains all the poems to be memorized, as well as chanted and sung versions of the all the lists of the parts of speech. The audio companion also contains dramatic readings of all the stories in the book (so it is perfect for rest time, too).
