Description

Every student can use spelling and grammar rules in their academic toolbelt! This course is perfect for students who struggle with spelling or are interested in linguistics. Students will learn to crack the spelling and grammar code and gain confidence to express themselves clearly, articulately, and effectively.

By exploring phonics, word origins, roots, dictionary skills, vocabulary builders, grammar rules, and sentence diagramming, students will learn to communicate with credibility.

The class uses the curriculum Spell to Write to Read as the guide, based on the Writing Road to Reading, a program developed by teacher Romalda Spalding and Dr. Samuel Orton, a neurologist who worked with dyslexic children in the 1920s. Using phonics and spelling rules, students learn to decode words correctly. Learning word etymology helps students practice spelling strategies and can spot letter combinations.

  • Repetition of the phonograms allows students to master spelling.
  • Repetition of spelling rules gives students confidence.
  • Diagramming sentences is an enjoyable exercise that makes grammar make sense and fun.
A good understanding of language is essential for becoming a competent communicator and a critical thinker. The Building Christian English Series by Rod and Staff is designed to develop such an understanding of the English language. We will be using Book 5 of this series which teaches traditional grammar and mechanics (capitalization and punctuation), and it moderately covers matters of usage. This is the foundation of the English language. This curriculum also teaches diagramming as an aid in understanding the grammatical construction of sentences. After this solid foundation is laid, students are taught to detect  and correct errors in mechanics, word usage, and sentence structure for the purpose of effective communication.
 

Grammar, punctuation, and usage guidelines are mastered in this course. The goal is to motivate students through live interaction in class, homework exercises, quizzes, and tests.

These steps will form a foundation for students to communicate effectively through writing and ensure success.

Spelling and Grammar 1 is a full-year course.
