8th Grade Learning Language Arts Through Literature Level Gray Ebook

Learning Language Arts Through Literature is a complete language arts program for first grade through high school.

Integrated Language Arts skills
Using an integrated approach to teaching, students learn the skills appropriate for each grade level in the context of quality literature.
​
Real literature
Reading real books instead of basal stories makes reading more attractive to the student. This creates a deeper understanding and generates greater interest in grammar, writing mechanics, vocabulary, spelling, and other language skills. The goal of any language arts program should be to equip the student for a lifetime of communication through the written and spoken word.

Easy-to-use
All levels are written for a 36 week school year. Grades 1-8 include a Teacher’s Book written in a conversational format making it easy to use with little or no preparation time for the teacher. Student Activity Books are available for the 1st - 8th grade. All levels include review activities and assessments.

Primarily based on dictation, your student will learn all the components of language arts in one easy to use book. A five week Writing Unit prepares students for high school writing and research as well as continued study in prefixes, suffixes, and roots words. Four Book Studies are designed to expand understanding through various activities involving reading and writing skills. The updated third edition is even easier to use with new lessons and analogies study.
