My Father's World From A to Z and My Father's World First Grade Deluxe Packages cover all needed language arts; no other supplementation is needed.
Many language arts skills are integrated into history/science/Bible activities in the curriculum including:
- Narration, copywork, dictation, and memorization
- Informal handwriting practice
- Extensive library lists for read-alouds and readers
- Vocabulary (Exploring Countries and Cultures, Creation to the Greeks Deluxe, and Rome to the Reformation Deluxe)
- Letter writing (Exploring Countries and Cultures and Creation to the Greeks)
- Composition in science and/or history
- And more!!
You will need to add grade-specific resources as a supplement to assure a well-rounded, complete language arts program. We recommend:
Grade 2 – Primary Language Lessons - first half of the book - and Spelling by Sound and Structure
Grade 3 – Primary Language Lessons - last half of the book - Spelling Power, and Cursive Handwriting Package

Grade 6 - Intermediate Language Lessons - last third of the book - Writing Strands Level 5 - first half of the book (see note below) - and Spelling Power
Students who are academically strong may use All-in-One English in 6th grade and Applications of Grammar in 7th grade.
Grade 7 – two literature units from Progeny Press, All-in-One English, Writing Strands Level 5 - last half of the book (see note below) - and Spelling Power (if needed)
Grade 8 – two literature units from Progeny Press, Applications of Grammar, Writing Strands Level 6(see note below), and Spelling Power (if needed)

Our high school curriculum covers all needed language arts; no other supplementation is needed. However, if a student has not had formal grammar instruction, he should complete Applications of Grammar. If a student is weak in composition skills, he should complete Writing Strands Level 4.

Cursive Handwriting Package
MFW curriculum already includes handwriting instruction
in kindergarten and first grade, and practical reviews in
all other levels. But when you are ready to teach your child
cursive (usually around 3rd grade), you may find this set
helpful. The first simple-to-use 32-page reproducible workbook
teaches cursive handwriting using a "modern handwriting"
style. The second workbook provides additional practice.
May be purchased separately for $4.95 each.
