The Age 7-9 Full Year Language Arts Package is a comprehensive homeschool English curriculum. It covers reading, writing, spelling, grammar, figurative language, and research to ensure a well-rounded education.

The curriculum unfolds in twelve 3-week literature units, featuring novels, non-fiction, poetry, biographies, and short stories. This unique structure enhances engagement and retention by immersing students in meaningful, context-rich learning experiences. Interactive lessons build critical thinking and creativity, with all materials and resources provided.

As your child reaches a significant reading milestone—being able to read simple chapter books—this program will help deepen their love of reading and introduce them to new literary adventures. The curriculum features:

• Nine captivating chapter books
• Two engaging graphic novels
• Four inspiring biographies

Lessons integrate discussion, writing, and hands-on activities for an engaging, immersive experience. For example, students will illustrate key scenes, write diary entries from a character’s perspective, and dissect owl pellets to explore the food chains described in the novel. 

In writing, this year represents a substantial leap in skill development. Before beginning this level, students should be able to write 2-4 complete sentences on a topic. Early in the program, they will begin writing well-structured essays while refining key skills like idea generation, grammar mastery, voice development, and word choice.

Daily writing practice is a key component, supplemented by major writing assignments every three weeks. By the end of the year, students will be capable of writing multiple paragraphs on a topic. Writing assignments include:

• Personal letters
• Journal entries
• Persuasive speeches
• Descriptive paragraphs
• Creative stories
• A variety of poems
• A monologue

This program stands alone or integrates seamlessly with the Beyond the Page science and social studies curriculum. Beyond the Page weaves together language arts, science, and social studies from preschool through middle school. This integration deepens subject connections, establishing a broader understanding of the world. 

Often used by third-grade homeschoolers, this level provides a structured yet adaptable language arts education with flexible pacing and customizable lessons to fit diverse learning styles.

This item includes free online access to Beyond the Page Online for 18 months. This includes Learning Gates, Portfolio and any curriculum or student activity pages that you have purchased.
