How We Communicate: Overview of Language Arts
by Lori Coeman

published by HomeschoolingBooks.com; 29 pages, paperback; clip binding
reference resource for grades K-12


I designed this booklet to be a sort of mini-workshop on Language Arts. In my consultations, I find that many families don’t really know what all is involved in this core subject. They know they have to teach it all the way through high school, but they aren’t sure what has to be covered at each grade level. I explain the different topics and when they are typically presented: phonics, reading, penmanship, spelling, grammar, vocabulary, writing, and literature. I also show you what skills are covered at each stage, the types of curriculum available, and how to choose a curriculum for your child.

I offer teaching tips for specific problem areas that seem to come up frequently in my consultations, and I include helpful checklists that clients have requested over the years. These include:

  • the four stages of reading and what you can expect at each stage;
  • what kind of reading practice is needed at each stage;
  • dealing with sight words;
  • suggested reading lists for primary, elementary, intermediate, and high school students;
  • spelling rules and work-attack strategies;
  • how to approach grammar; and
  • how to grade writing.
