Homeschool Curriculum Review of Learning Language Arts Through Literature

by Deborah H Edgar
(Midway GA)

I have been homeschooling for sixteen years and I have used a huge variety of curricula but one that I recommend the most is Learning Language Arts through Literature (LLATL) homeschool curriculum.

LLATL follows the concept of teaching a child to write, by mimicking and reading good writing. I used this language arts curriculum for all three of my children between fifth and sixth grade. It is good at teaching a student how to organize thoughts and write an assignment that is enjoyable to read.

I have not bought this curriculum in a few years but I have never paid more than $100 for the teacher and student book package. I have also been able to find this curriculum at used book sales where there is a considerable savings. I keep a copy of Learning Language Arts Through Literature handy to use as a reference or to pull from for random assignments.

Great homeschool curriculum review of LLATL! I used Learning Language Arts Through Literature for the first time this year (blue book) with my first grade daughter. It is excellent curriculum and I highly recommend it too! :) Happy homeschooling, Heather

PEAH's Homeschool Savings Tips:
To save money, purchase the individual instructor/teacher guides (except first grade/blue book*) and then borrow the books needed for the lessons, from the library.

*For first grade, students learn to read and lessons require use of some specific materials for some of the games, etc.
