- Short, three day per week lessons keep Language Arts from taking all of your time.
- Children interact with books, not just passages from books.
- Writing is taught through imitation.
- Spelling is taught through prepared dictation.
- Copywork is included from the literature, the Bible, maxims, and poetry.
- Students rewrite sentences from the stories, changing the sentences through grammatical changes. This old exercise from Erasmus teaches children to say the same thing in many different ways.
- Children write outlines, then write papers from their outlines.
