The third volume in the First Language Lessons series, this scripted guide uses the classical techniques of memorization, copywork, dictation, and narration to develop your child's language ability in the formative first years of study. The Level 3 Instructor Guide for First Language Lessons for the Well-Trained Mind reinforces the grammar and writing concepts introduced in the previous levels. It also introduces new material, including sentence diagramming. This instructor book has the same simple-to-use, scripted format as the previous levels. (The Level 3 Student Workbook is available separately; the workbook makes it easier for busy parents to spend more time teaching, and less time preparing―you don't have to hand-draw any diagram frames!) First Language Lessons Level 3 is designed to follow Levels 1 and 2, but can be used as a first grammar text for older students. The optional end-units on writing letters, dictionary skills, and oral usage allow you to tailor the instruction to the needs of your child. Grade Recommendation: Grades 2-4.

First Language Lessons for the Well-Trained Mind, Level 4

Too often, elementary school level language arts programs make use of one "Grammar and Composition" text to teach the very different skills of grammatical understanding and actual writing. Inevitably, grammar gets shortchanged, or writing becomes too programmed and mechanical. 
We overcome this by packaging our innovative, exercise-centered grammar program with our literature-based, age-appropriate writing program. Easy-to-use, open-and-go scripted lessons make teaching grammar and writing simple and effective. Together, each Bundle offers an unparalleled full year of language arts study. 
This third level of grammar and writing can follow the Second Grade bundle, or students already working at a third grade level can go directly into it for a full year of language arts study. Fourth grade students new to the program should begin here as well. 
Writing With Ease includes both instructor dialogue and student worksheets. 
First Language Lessons includes a consumable Student Workbook and a separate Instructor Guide, which includes an answer key.
