Book Description
Parents can assure their child's success in language arts with this simple-to-use, scripted guide. 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. Each lesson leads the parent, step-by-step, through the simple oral and written projects that build reading, writing, spelling, storytelling, and comprehension skills. Use this book to supplement school learning, or as the center of a home-school language arts course.

About the Author
Jessie Wise, a former teacher, is a home educational consultant, speaker, and co-author of The Well-Trained Mind: A Guide to Classical Education at Home, a book which has rapidly become an educational standard.
