We take an integrated approach to language arts, tying reading and writing closely together. Our goal is language development, both spoken and written. As the students progress in writing, basic sentence structure and punctuation appropriate for their level is emphasized. The children will learn to write formal paragraphs and will eventually write four-paragraph essays.
