The “Solving the Mysteries of Grammar” guide schedules enough material for a full school year.  This program pulls together several great resources.  This guide schedules: guided cursive handwriting workbook, creative writing, parts of speech worksheets, punctuation, sentence structure and types, spelling activities and practice, vocabulary workbooks, reading, language activities, and language skills.  The guide offers an abundance of weekly teaching notes, helps, and instructions on how-to-use the materials in this guide and so on.  The answer key for the LA 4 Student Worktext Set is included as part of this guide.

Students will solve grammar “mystery cases” as they continue to focus on grammar studies, and reinforce the grammar foundation laid down in LA 3.  The LA 4 program includes language arts resources designed to help your student gain proficiency in grammar, begin cursive writing instruction, increase their reading comprehension and speed, and continue vocabulary building. It also includes a guidebook that offers creative suggestions to coordinate with several themed programs.  Students continue to improve their reading skills, reading suggested books that range in length from 65 to 250 pages, but which have a consistent reading level achievable for this age.  Students are expected to read about a chapter a day.
