First Language Lessons for the Well Trained Mind

From one of the authors of The Well Trained Mind, comes First Language Lessons for the Well Trained Mind, a wonderful book for first and second graders. It is a "complete grammar and writing text for those first two all-important years of study."

  • Scripted lessons give the teacher and confidence
  • Original, clear illustrations related the lessons to the student's own world
  • Simple-focused learning goals build a strong foundation for achievement

Mini-Review by Harriet Yoder

This is just what I have been looking for in a grammar/writing book for primary students. With its scripted lessons, gentle approach, and very reasonable cost, First Language Lessons introduces grammar and writing without the tears! My boys have enjoyed the lessons and I have learned some things about teaching grammar as well. This is a definite winner!
