      Parents can assure their child's success in language arts with this simple-to-use, scripted guide. First Language Lessons for the Well-Trained Mind uses picture study and other classical techniques to develop the child's language study in those first two all-important years of school. Each lesson leads the parent, step-by-step, through the simple oral and written projects that build reading, writing, spelling, storytelling, and comprehension skills. Use this book to supplement school learning, or as the center of a home-school language arts course.

      June 07, 2006: This book gives an excellent foundation for grammar that will have your child communicating well verbally and in writing. The format is easy, with 100 short, daily lessons per grade and is so easy to use, with lists of needed supplies at the beginning of the section and even a 'script' for parents to follow. It can seem quite slow-moving and repetitive, but is not meant to take up a lot of time, just a few minutes each day. The result is a well-rounded and thorough grammar curriculum.
