Each level has a textbook and an optional workbook which can be purchased separately.What’s different about English Lessons Through Literature?Short, three day per week lessons keep language arts from taking all of your time.Students interact with books, not just passages from books.Composition is covered in multiple ways. (See next section below.)Spelling is taught through prepared dictation.Copywork is included from the literature, maxims, and poetry.Diagramming sentences is used as an exercise to both demonstrate understanding of the material and to constantly review what has been learned.ELTL Covers Composition in Multiple WaysWriting is taught primarily through imitation.Students practice both narrations–telling the whole story–and summaries–telling only the main eventsBeginning literary analysis exercises familiarize students with writing about literature by answering questions about a book they are reading. Note that this is different from a book report, which merely asks students to summarize a work.Students rewrite passages from the literature to practice writing different types of scenes, including exposition, descriptions, action, and dialogue.Students rewrite sentences from the stories, changing the sentences through grammatical changes. This old exercise from Erasmus teaches students to say the same thing in many different ways.Students write outlines and write papers from their outlines, just as Benjamin Franklin taught himself to write.In a typical ELTL lesson:Students listen or read the literature, depending upon their age.A brief lesson explores a grammatical concept. Examples are taken from the literature.In levels 3 and up, there’s a short writing exercise. The student might analyze words from the new narration story, change a sentence from the story, or imitate a descriptive paragraph.Students listen or read the poem and a short story; the stories come from various world traditions.The lesson ends with a short exercise and copywork. The exercise sentences are also from the literature.Once per week, there is either a written narration or a picture study.
