LLATL

This year, I discovered these books, Learning Language Arts Through Literature. They go from grade school all the way up through high school. Each year, the student reads four classic books appropriate to their grade level, and completes grammar, spelling and writing tasks that go along with the books. In addition to the four books, the book also provides chapters with literature passages that the children copy from dictation and learn grammar principles. From the books and literature passages, we extract our spelling words list. So far, the boys are really enjoying this approach.
