First Language Lessons for the Well-Trained Mind uses picture study and other classical techniques to develop the child's language study in those first two all-important years of school.

Use this book to supplement school learning, or as the center of a home-school language arts course.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good for adults and kids!
I am on lesson 5 and have found it easy and enjoyable to my child as well as me. We were lacking in the phonics/English area and this is a GREAT fill in! Lessons are easy!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - absolutly wonderful
This book is extremly easy to use and can be used for grammar, writing and poetry. It has everything your 1st & 2nd grader needs. My 2nd grader loves it and my kindergartener is eager to join his brother. It gives you (teacher) a great script to follow, this makes it easy for my husband to substitute when I'm not available.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A Fair Review & A Comparison to Other Popular Curriculum!

To this end, her beginning levels use copywork and dictation to expose the student to complete sentences with correct grammar, spelling, and punctuation. If your child enjoys original writing, by all ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great homeschooling book
I bought this to use with my almost 6 year old as part of our homeschool curriculum and I love it. The lessons are short, we usually only take about 5-10 minutes per lesson. They are set up for easy use by the instructor and my son likes to do the lessons. I would recommend this to anyone, especially if you are at all intimidated about teaching your child about the English language.
