Language Lessons for Today Grade 2

Language Lessons for Today from My Father's World combines the Charlotte Mason and classical approach to bring homeschoolers short, easy-to-teach lessons that cover basic language skills such as English, punctuation, composition, oral language skills, letter writing, understanding poetry, and more. Children are encouraged to expand upon the language they already know, with better communication with others, rather than purely academic knowledge, as the ultimate goal.

Short, interactive, and parent-led exercises are provided, which include narration, copywork, memorization, picture work, and fill-in-the-blank type exercises. Parents may use as-written or alter to suit children's particular needs and/or learning styles by increasing or decreasing the number of written exercises. A number of fine examples of language and art are provided through works by Aesop, Robert Louis Stevenson, Edward Lear, and art by Winslow Homer and John Audubon, among others.
