First children learn the basic phonograms; Reading Lessons Through Literature teaches 75 basic phonograms.

And finally, they begin to read stories which include the words they’ve learned.

In each level, the spelling lists are organized around stories in The Elson Readers and padded with additional words from the Ayres list.

Each level includes the instructional material, the spelling lists, and one of The Elson Readers; Level 1 contains the Primer, Level 2 contains Book 1, Level 3 contains Book 2, and Level 4 contains Book 3 - there are no additional readers to purchase.

In the Primer, multi-letter phonograms are underlined and multi-syllable words are separated between syllables to help the beginning reader. In Book 1, multi-syllable words are separated between syllables.

Write From History Level 1 – Retail $22.95

The Write from History series is an elementary writing curriculum based on the classical, Charlotte Mason Method of instruction. With this series, children learn to write by studying models written by talented authors from history. They read historical selections and narrate these back via oral narration, written narration, or written summations. Following each historical selection, a writing model (written in a true handwriting font) is studied for copywork. Additional models located in the appendix are used for studied dictation.

As children study the writing of talented authors, they absorb the style of those they imitate. They also learn to create complex sentences and use appropriate word choice. This method of teaching writing is based on the Charlotte Mason method, and it gently but completely prepares students for middle school writing.

This writing program teaches grammar, spelling, penmanship, and history—all at once. You can select from Ancient, Medieval, or Early Modern History in Manuscript or Ancient and Medieval in Cursive. Level Two is available in the 4th-6th Grade Bundle and the “Build Your Own” options.

Be sure to select which volume you want to include with your purchase by clicking the “List of Downloads” tab.

WriteShop Primary Book A Set – $29.00 Value

WriteShop Primary Book A is recommended for students in kindergarten or first grade. Since early lessons have the option to be entirely oral on the part of the child, there is no pressure—only the opportunity to talk about things that are familiar to him as he watches Mom write down his words. Slowly and gently, the child is asked to help with the actual writing, first in simple words, then through copywork.

Picture books, games, and simple crafts make it easy and fun for little learners to grasp new concepts. Children who are reluctant or not able to write on their own are encouraged to dictate their stories and ideas to you. As their skills develop, they will learn to help more and more with the actual writing. For more advanced students, extra challenges appear throughout each lesson to promote stronger writing habits.

WriteShop has levels all the way through high school available for purchase on their website.

Uncle Rick Reads Little Pioneers – Retail $15.00

What an adventure! Barely a hundred brave souls boarded a tiny ship and set across the stormy Atlantic to build a new nation based on God’s truth. Arriving months later on the barren shore of a wilderness they called New England, these pioneers had to build their own homes, grow and hunt their own food and somehow survive bitter winters and summers full of toil and danger.

They were attacked by some Indians and befriended by others. They defended themselves from the natives who sought their lives and shared the Gospel with those who would listen. After their first good crop, the Pilgrims shared their harvest with their Indian friends and a holiday called Thanksgiving was born.

This is the exciting story of the Christian pilgrims of Plymouth Colony, told through the eyes of their children and based on historical truth. Listen as Uncle Rick recounts the dangers, the fun, the struggles and the adventures of these young people, growing up in the earliest years of the land that came to be called America!
