Language Arts Homeschool Curriculum Skills List | Secular Preschool

Language arts activities have a social studies or science theme and incorporate reading, handwriting, and spelling skills. Unit one begins teaching the child basic letter sounds. The activities provided during the year teach phonics and blend these skills with sight word recognition to promote fluency and comprehension in reading. The questions for discussion of literature stimulate higher-level thinking skills and incorporate new vocabulary words that become part of your child’s usable vocabulary. Practice worksheets to reinforce these concepts are included within the lessons.
