Write From History Level 2 – 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.
All Level 2 books contain historically relevant reading selections divided into four chapters: short historical narratives, excerpt from primary source documents, poetry and cultural tales. In the Level 2 books, students in grades 3 to 5 are introduced in a gentle manner to interesting excerpts from primary source documents. These older students are encouraged to copy paragraph sized models written in either print or cursive. In the appendix are additional models which may be used for studied dictation.
This writing program teaches grammar, spelling, penmanship, and history—all at once. You can select from Ancient, Medieval, or Early Modern , or Modern History in Cursive or Manuscript. Level One is available in the 1st-3rd Grade Bundle or 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.
