Homeschool Curriculum Suggestions for Language Arts

New Homeschooler Resources Series.

These suggestions are more "traditional" in style. They are sometimes a good jumping off point for parents coming from a school setting. You can change curriculum ANY TIME or decide to use no curriculum at all!!

Language Arts is such a HUGE subject and this is a tiny intro to what's available. There are so many more programs out there to explore as needed and as you are ready to dive deeper.

Here is the Guide for all subjects but below are the links for Language Arts specifically:

Spectrum Language Arts-workbook

Evan-Moor Language Arts-workbook (many to choose from depending on need)

Literature (For grade 3 and up. For younger grades just read a loud and enjoy)

I’d choose a few good novels and do a literature study to round out the year. You get to read a good book, discuss various issues it addresses, explore genre, and can practice writing with various assignments. (These can be read-a-louds or independently read.)

Teachers Pay Teachers has a great variety of literature studies-print on demand

The kids can choose their own novels if you want but perhaps use the grade level reading lists to choose from if you need help (you can google for more reading lists too)

Brave Writer Arrow is another literature study that is highly recommended and FUN! These have preselected books. Grades 3-6ish
