As I continue to write this week about something that worked for us during this past school year, I wanted to talk about the grammar books that we used this year — Language of God for Little Folks from Catholic Heritage Curricula.
The Language of God books take a gentle approach to grammar, much like other materials from CHC. I really enjoyed that these were easy to understand, and often my boys could work on these without assistance from me. (That’s always a plus, in my book!)
As a Catholic homeschooler, I also enjoyed the overt religious content of these books. While learning about capitalization, for instance, the kids not only learned about capitalizing words like Susie and Dallas, Texas, but they also learned about capitalizing for Sister Mary Regina and Blessed Sacrament.
Although this isn’t true of every page of the workbook, many exercises include Bible or saint stories. For example, the student may be working on proper punctuation while every sentence tells the story of when Jesus walked on water.
These books have helped my children’s grammar skills, and helped me by being simple to implement.
The workbooks are available in Levels A through E (which is kind of nice to not have a specific grade level attached to it). Level A is listed as being for advanced 1st grade to average 2nd grade, while Level E is listed as for advanced 5th grade to average 6th grade. The prices differ on various levels, but they all range from $11.95 to $16.95.
