Language Lessons for a Living Education Level 3 Course Description

This story-based approach, featuring Claire and Micah, is designed to engage young learners and strengthen their reading and writing skills. Real world examples and applications are the focus as they practice reading, apply grammatical skills, and increase their vocabulary. Complete with helpful illustrations and guides, this book will teach your student paragraph structure, compound words, contractions, sentence combining, helping verbs, prepositions, and more. Using the spelling words and the Dictionary Worksheets, students will increase their vocabulary by creating their very own dictionary. Each quarter has a dependable pattern, but with five stories, two picture studies (one Bible-based), and two poems (one Psalm), students will always look forward to something new!

Is my student ready to start Language Lessons for a Living Education Level 3?

Continuing with what the student has learned in Level 2, Book 3 will add to their reading, communication and observation skills. They will begin to write paragraphs. They will review and refine lessons from Level 2 in addition to learning new skills.

Begin at this level if the student:

•  Has completed Language Lessons for a Living Education 2 or another early language arts course

•  Can narrate or “tell back” the details of stories

•  can spell most short vowel words and many words with long vowels, consonant blends, and consonant digraphs

•  Has a basic understanding of simple sentence structure and the physical stamina to write three sentences

If the student is not ready to begin this level, we recommend starting with Language Lessons for a Living Education Level 2.
