Language Arts

Grades K-1

The Kindergarten Package and the First Grade Package cover all needed language arts.

Grades 2-8

Many language arts skills are integrated into the history, science, and Bible activities in our curriculum:

  • Narration, copywork, dictation, and memorization
  • Informal handwriting practice
  • Read-aloud literature
  • Vocabulary
  • Book Basket™ — extensive library lists for read-alouds and readers
  • Letter writing
  • Composition in science and history

Add grade-specific resources as a supplement to assure a well-rounded, complete language arts program. We recommend:

2nd Grade
3rd Grade
4th Grade
5th Grade
6th Grade
7th Grade
8th Grade
High School

Our high school curriculum covers all needed language arts including writing instruction and assignments (composition), grammar, literature analysis, and reading lists.

NOTE: An incoming student weak in formal grammar should complete Easy Grammar Ultimate Series: Grade 8. Likewise, a student weak in composition skills should complete Writing with Skill Level 1 (at least half of the book).

Progeny Press

For 7th and 8th Graders

As part of a complete language arts program, MFW recommends literature guides developed by Progeny Press. Select two per year, based on the student's reading level and interests. The following titles are recommended by MFW. They are listed by the MFW curriculum they most closely match. However, any of these books may be used with any of the MFW programs.

Exploring Countries and Cultures

Creation to the Greeks

  • The Golden Goblet (Book | Study Guide)
  • Select a second book from any of the other listed books.

Rome to the Reformation

Exploration to 1850

1850 to Modern Times

  • No specific recommendation — select any two from the books listed above.

The above choices have been reviewed and selected by MFW as most suitable and they are available from MFW. If these titles do not meet your needs, information about other literature guides is available on the Progeny Press website.

Elizabeth George Speare

ISBN: 9780547550299

Kit has grown up on the island of Barbados, loved and pampered by her grandfather. But after his death, Kit must leave. It's not proper for a sixteen-year-old girl to live by herself. She's heard stories about her aunt and uncle who live in the colony of Connecticut. These are the only relatives Kit knows of. So, alone and desperate, she sets sail to live with them in New England.

When she arrives, Kit is shocked by the gray, damp landscape, but even more stunned by the Puritanical lifestyle of her uncle's household. Fitting in is not easy - until she meets Hannah Tupper, an older woman who lives alone and is the only person who lets Kit be herself.

But the colonists believe Hannah is a witch. If they discover Kit is her friend, they will think the same of her. Kit must choose: should she abandon her only friend, or stand by her and risk losing everything?

L.M. Montgomery

ISBN: 9780812979039

When Marilla Cuthbert and her brother Matthew send for an orphan boy to help Matthew on the farm, Anne Shirley, a skinny, red-headed girl who never stops talking, arrives instead.

From the beginning, Matthew's heart is captured by this "kindred spirit" and he decides he wants to keep her. Marilla reluctantly agrees to this, but eventually finds herself absorbed by Anne's chatter, amused by the scrapes Anne gets herself into, and frustrated with Anne always having her head in the clouds.

As Anne grows, Marilla finds her a "genius for getting into trouble." Yet, as Anne says, "have you ever noticed one encouraging thing about me, Marilla? I never make the same mistake twice." Despite her many predicaments, life at Green Gables is happy.
