Our new Level 4 Language Arts Course is a completely revised, easy-to-use course that includes everything needed for a high-quality language arts education. A unique feature of Level 4 is the Read-Together Book, Whisper Creek, which will challenge students and provide valuable one-on-one time reading together with the parent during the first half of the course. In the second half of the course, the focus switches to the updated reading and vocabulary lessons that target students’ reading skills and introduce a rich vocabulary. Brand-new guided writing exercises build upon the solid foundation students developed in Level 3, and by the end of the course, students are writing full-length essays. The integrated Simply Spelling program has shown to demonstrably improve the spelling skills of students in our pilot program. Optional online videos explain new grammar concepts in an engaging way.
Newly updated with enriching and carefully selected online activities—including engaging grammar videos, visual vocabulary explanations, guided art projects, and book discussions—the Level 4 Language Arts Course is perfect for the growing independence of the elementary student. The 120 lessons in the two course books are correlated with two beautifully written, engaging books for independent reading. Geography, art, and poetry are woven through the course. Lessons include unique features such as Gratitude Journals, Sentences That Shine, Powerful Paragraphs, Stories That Sparkle, Easy-Peasy Pre-Writing, Mini Models, and Precious Poetry.
Our completely new spelling program, Simply Spelling, is an exciting addition to our new language arts courses for grades 4+. The innovative, customized system adapts to the student, giving them practice words they have not yet mastered, while occasionally reviewing mastered words. Simply Spelling is a highly effective, self-directed online program that uses nature-based themes to help children practice spelling rules and principles, homophones, and commonly confused words.
