The Learning Language Arts through Literature program is a complete language arts program for Grades 1-12. Using an integrated approach to teaching, students learn communication skills in the context of quality literature that makes not only makes reading more attractive, but creates a deeper understanding of grammar, writing mechanics, vocabulary, spelling, and other language skills.
The Red Book is designed for students in 2nd grade and continues the phonics instruction began in the Blue Book level. Students will enjoy the stories in the readers and use them to learn grammar, creative writing, higher-order thinking skills, and much more. This Teacher's Book provides parents with weekly, easy-to-use lessons that require little to no preparation. Lessons begin with a box that lists new skills taught in the lesson; lessons themselves are divided by days, with step-by-step instructions to the teacher explaining exactly what to do, what to read, and what to ask students. A list of materials you'll need for the lesson is also provided.
This course covers phonics, reading skills, grammar, creative writing, and higher-order thinking skills, as well as a quick review of first grade phonics and instruction in advanced phonics. The thinking, writing, and creative enrichment activities are ideal for the fluent reader and easily adaptable for the nonreader. Handwriting instruction teaches upper and lower-case letters, numbers, and punctuation. Review activities and assessments to evaluate progress are also integrated throughout.
The updated third edition of the Red Level features with three new readers/lessons that give your student more practice in mastering phonics. Please note that the 3rd and 2nd editions of the LLATL Red level are NOT compatible with each other.
