Homeschool Language Arts Curriculum

by Kim A. Howe, M.S.

Moving Beyond the Page has a unique language arts program. Some of these differences are easy to see. For example, beginning with our Age 7-9 level, children learn all their language arts through the study of 12 memorable novels. What you may not know, however, is that our approach to writing and grammar is based on current research on how these subjects should be covered. You may be surprised by some of what you learn in this presentation. At the bottom of this page you will find links to current research and discussions of these topics.
