This Language Arts Guide

The “Stories to Short Chapters” guide is enough material for a full school year. This program pulls together several great resources. This guide schedules: four highly interactive write-in readers, handwriting practice, spelling, phonics worksheets, creative narration, spelling activities and games, phonics activities and games, simple vocabulary, language activities, and making a dictionary using the resource, “Words I Use When I Write,” from words they encounter throughout the year.

The guide offers an abundance of weekly teaching notes, helps, and instructions on how-to-use the materials in this guide and so on. Blank lined handwriting originals can be copied for student who need more practice than the handwriting scheduled using the “Pine Hollow Handwriting Set.” As weekly games are scheduled every week their instructions and other helpful lists and information is include. Language skills worksheets are also included to help teach important skills, sentence punctuation, and some basic grammar. Answer for the language skills worksheets and the four write-in readers are also included as part of this guide. NOTE: This resource is printed in black and white. The ebook version of this resource will be in color or contain color pages.

Great Scheduled Interactive Write-In Readers!

The spine of this program is the four write-in readers scheduled in this guide. The write-in readers have pages on phonics, spelling, vocabulary, and fun reading comprehension activities. The reading passages continues from where students left off from the previous program, “Paragraphs to Pages.” Returning students will enjoy the further adventures of Acorn the squirrel and his friends. Further information on these great readers, “Frolic in the Forest” Student Book, “Winter in the Woods” Student Book, “Mischief in the Meadow” Student Book, and “Havoc in Pine Hollow” Student Book, can be seen on their separate pages. For families that are new to our language arts, your students will have no trouble reading the stories, as an introduction is included in the student book, “Frolic in the Forest.”

The phonetically focused stories, in the write-in readers, engage student and enable them to decode longer words with a similar phonograms or blends, expand their vocabulary, and help them better retain what they’ve read through the fun stories and reading comprehension activities. Using the “Sneaky, Snacky Squirrel Game,” “Acorn’s Game Set,” the four write-in readers, and other resources your student will have a variety of experiences to greatly increase their ability to read through this fun program.
