Phonics/Language/Reading
In phonics and language classes, students are introduced to basic grammar concepts such as forming and punctuating sentences and identifying parts of speech. Students apply phonics rules to decode one and two-vowel words, consonant blends and digraphs, and multi-syllabic words. Character-building, decodable stories from ABeka Book reinforce concepts and build fluency. Reading comprehension skills and vocabulary knowledge are strengthened through reading and enjoying classic, authentic literature and poetry throughout the year.

Writing
Students learn to summarize written material and transform their thoughts into words using the Institute for Excellence in Writing’s structure and style writing lessons and creative journaling. 

Handwriting
Students learn to form letters using the D'Nealian Handwriting method, which provides a continuous, slanted script that easily transitions from manuscript to cursive.

Spelling
The All About Spelling series uses a multi-sensory approach—auditory, visual, and kinesthetic–combined with consistent reinforcement to ensure that students retain reliable spelling rules and how to apply them in daily writing. Concepts include:

• Spell phonograms A-Z, digraphs (TH, SH, CH, CK, etc.), and words containing them, such as bath, duck, cash, etc.
• Spell words ending in FF, LL, and SS, as in cliff, will, and miss
• Spell words with initial consonant blends, as in frog and swim
• Spell plural words with the suffix s or es, such as cups and lunches
• Spell compound words, such as cobweb and bathtub

Students work through Our Star-Spangled Story while learning about the history of America. They begin with creation and follow the path of how America was explored and established as a nation. Through a multi-style approach—reading text, journaling, listening to songs and riddles, and completing projects—students enjoy a hands-on approach to their learning and understanding how God works through His people over the course of history.
