Our Curriculum - Language, Primary 3/Grade 2

Hopefully, over the next few weeks I'll give some idea of what we use, or have used, for our children at their different stages. Here, I'll show what we use for Language for our youngest child.

Our youngest child is 7 years old just now. He would be on Pr 3 (Grade 2).

For Language, we use these

Along with the workbooks, there is a wonderful selection of reading books. We do not follow the curriculum down to the last jot and tittle, although we do the basic written Language lesson each day. We pick and choose the reading books, and use them as we wish. 

Sometimes, I read a story to CS; other times, I have him read it aloud to me. There are often questions after each story, and we often discuss these together. Sometimes, he writes a story connected with what we've read.

Apart from the Abeka materials, CS reads a lot on his own, and we read together as a family.

When we began our homeschooling journey, our eldest child was on Primary 3 (grade 2), and going on to Pr 4. We knew so little about homeschooling, and knew almost nothing of curriculum materials. We'd heard of Abeka, and sent for the whole curriculum from them for a Pr 4 child, a Pr 2 child and a Preschooler.

Having spent the money on Abeka books, which are beautifully produced (and still look as good as new!), we have used and re-used many of their textbooks for subsequent children.
