Primary Language Lessons by Emma Serl

 

Providing homeschool resources of enduring value

         This book was first written to introduce children around grade 2-3 into the habit of speaking and writing the English language correctly.

           This eBook edition of Primary Language Lessons is an adapted version from Emma Serls’, 1911 American edition. Some changes have been made to include Australian and New Zealand content.

This ebook version has 160 language lessons including; classic picture studies, observation exercises, conversation lessons, nature stories, Aesop’s fables, poetry, grammar lessons on word usage, drawing activities, dictation, copywork and drill.

Combine this resource with our Beatrix Potter for Beginners, Mother Goose Copywork, and Downunder Copy Work book one, add some good reading material and you will have a comprehensive language arts program for infants and early primary.

This resource is still popular amongst homeschoolers today because it has a holistic approach to language arts. Emma Serl assumed that a child will learn to speak and write correctly, by imitation, if the proper formats were presented to them.

I have used a few language arts curriculums over the years and none seem to fit just right BUT Primary Language Lessons comes pretty close. This is a simple straightforward curriculum that cuts out the busy work and gets children writing, reading and thinking.
