Online Language Arts Curriculum

The wonderful thing about homeschooling is the flexibility of choice. If your child does well with a hands-on math curriculum, a literature based history curriculum, and an online language arts curriculum, there is an option that will fit all those variables. There are so many wonderful homeschool materials to choose from, that parents never have to be stuck with one catch-all curriculum if that curriculum doesn’t cover all the bases.

When parents begin researching language arts curricula, they are usually looking for a program that will not only teach their child the basics of phonics, reading, writing, and grammar, but that will also keep their child’s interest and get him or her excited about words.

Time4Learning offers a language arts curriculum that is uniquely able to fulfill both those criteria. The scope and sequence of the T4L language arts curriculum meets or exceeds national standards and covers all of the following components:

Phonics and Fluency- Understanding sounds through letter recognition, blending, and decoding is the foundation for rereading and reading, which leads to fluency. Fluency is the ability to sound out familiar and unfamiliar words in text while reading.

Grammar and Conventions- Developing skills in spelling, punctuation, parts of speech, verb tenses and sentence types leads to better reading writing, listening and speaking.

Reading Comprehension Strategies- Building critical thinking skills through prereading, reading comprehension, making inferences, asking questions, summarizing, comparing and contrasting, analyzing characters, and identifying cause and effect creates an understanding of literature.

Vocabulary - Learning multiple meanings, synonyms, antonyms, prefixes, suffixes, parts of speech, and using context clues help students broaden their oral expression, writing, and speaking skills.

Writing - Beginning with prewriting, applying the writing process, sentence and paragraph structure, sequencing, conventions, various genres of composition, response, analysis, and creative thinking structures students’ writing.

In addition to having all of the needed educational content, though, the Time4Learning language arts curriculum is also really engaging and fun. Children like using the computer to learn, and the interactive multimedia style of the lessons will keep them excited about what they are learning.
